Safe dream meaning - Safe dreams, scene by scene

Traditionally, a safe has sometimes been understood as symbolizing the wish to protect one’s wealth and precious things, along with secrets kept out of sight. A scene of opening or closing a safe also invites us to consider how much you want to hold on to—or reveal—not only money, but opportunities and feelings too.
