Cupboard dream meaning is explained below using 11 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Eric Ackroyd

(1) Cupboards may symbolize the womb, and therefore represent either your mother or women in general (in a man’s dream), or a desire to return to the womb - that is, to escape from life’s demands and problems.

(2) A cupboard may symbolize yourself. Do you, in the dream, open the cupboard? If so, what do you find there? Whatever it is, it should be seen as some part of yourself, albeit your unconscious - hidden - self. ‘Skeletons in cupboards’ are parts of yourself to which you have denied a place in your conscious life.

Finding a hidden cupboard suggests rediscovering something we may have forgotten. Opening a cupboard and finding it bigger than expected suggests available opportunities.
