Cellar dream meaning is explained below using 20 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Eric Ackroyd

A cellar or basement may symbolize the deepest level of your mind.

If you have not explored vour unconscious, the ‘cellars of your mind’ will be the whole of the unconscious mind.

If you have begun to explore, the ‘cellars’ will be the parts or levels of your unconscious that you have not yet explored.

Cellars are sometimes dark places; so are the unemployed layers of the unconscious, since they have not been illumined by the light of consciousness.

Because they are dark, and because they may harbour spiders and other creepy-crawly things, cellars may be frightening places. Similarly, unfamiliar parts of our mind may present a forbidding aspect. There are, in the unconscious, things we are afraid to face: that is why they are in the unconscious - we repressed them, banished them from consciousness, because they frightened or disgusted us or made us feel guilty and ashamed. But these repressed feelings or desires will rum out, on better acquaintance, to be quite innocent products of natural instinctive drives, requiring appropriate expression in our life.

Interpretation 2 — Garuda

Depth Psychology: The cellar represents the place where all our memories, experiences, and our emotional garbage are stored. Dreaming about a cellar is a sign that we want to forget it, not think about any of it. However, our behavior and actions are still influenced by those energies. This “cellar” can be the source of strength as well as anguish.

It is the depository of such emotions as hate, anger, fear, cravings, etc.

The dream is challenging you to “clean out your basement”—to look at issues from the past that interfere with your life. This dream symbol appears frequently and taking the advice it gives is not easy—after all “cleaning the basement” is a dirty job! See Basement, Cave, Grotto, Tomb.
