Chalice dream meaning is explained below using 10 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Klaus Vollmar

Important here is how you categorize this object: Mug, Goblet, Glass, or even Grail. Different terms refer to different moods and points of view and lead to different interpretations.

If seen as a chalice, it always indicates something extraordinary (it is not just a simple mug or a glass used every day!). It may either represent suffering or death (the “hemlock cup” of antiquity, for example) or the search for a higher goal (legend of the Grail and the magnificent interpretation by Emma Jung in her book The Legend of the Grail As Seen in Depth Psychology).

A chalice holds the liquid that is the equivalent of our emotions and needs.

The image of the chalice implies that these emotions and needs are spiritual in nature. Figuratively speaking, it is a matter of nurturing the soul and cultivating the emotions. That was precisely the task of the search for the Grail in the Middle Ages. In Christianity, the chalice is connected with the heart and blood of Christ.

Interpretation 2 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) This may be a symbol of the self - that is, the total and ordered psvehc. The silver or gold of the chalice represents the supreme value of the self (as in the holy grail sought by King Arthur and his knights).

(2) Is the wine in the chalice, rather than the chalice itself, given the limelight in your dream? Red wine may be a symbol of life (blood) and fullness of life (water turned into wine represents an enrichment of life). Your dream may, then, be trving to get you to attend to something in your unconscious that can enrich your life; or even pointing you towards the source of life within you.
