Cup

A 'Cup' in a dream represents a mental tool for being receptive. A cup's function is to receive and hold liquid. In the Universal Language of the Mind, liquid or water represents your conscious life experiences. A cup, then, is a tool that allows you to receive and contain your life experiences in a manageable way. The subconscious mind is the receptive mind. A cup reflects your ability to open yourself to receive -- to receive new experiences, new information, new understanding, and new energy. Without receptivity, you cannot learn, grow, or be nourished by what life offers you. Pay attention to the state of the cup. Is it full, reflecting that you are well-nourished and have received abundantly? Is it empty, indicating a readiness to receive or a need for more nourishment? Is the cup cracked or broken, suggesting that you are having difficulty holding onto what you receive? When a cup shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to assess your receptivity. Are you open to receiving the lessons, blessings, and experiences that life is offering you? Or are you closed off, resistant, or unable to hold what comes your way? Create space within yourself to receive.
