Interpretation 1 — Ibn Seerin
A drinking glass cup in a dream represents a woman. Receiving a glass of water in a dream means that one’s wife is pregnant.
An unknown kind of glass cup or a roughly cut drinking glass of water in a dream means that there is a fetus in the mother’s womb.
If the glass of water breaks and the water remains in the dream, it means that the mother may die after giving birth and the infant will survive. Ifthe water spills and the glass remains intact in the dream, it means that the fetus may die and the mother will survive.

Interpretation 4 — Theresa Cheung
If you dream of breaking glass, what barrier or restraint are you breaking through? Could it mean that your emotions might be shattered? Breaking something made of glass might symbolize the breaking up of a relationship, the shattering of an illusion or simply that you or someone else are broken-hearted.
Glass may not always be very visible, so it may represent hidden dangers; if you dream of stepping on broken glass, it suggests that you are being careless about your direction in life or your present situation; if it is being done without heed to injury, walking on glass represents selfinflicted pain.
If you dream of glasses as in spectacles, this refers to your ability to see or understand something or someone clearly. The image may also refer to the mask you use to hide behind, as with sunglasses. Terms like‘short-sighted’ or ‘long- sighted’ help us understand the use of glasses in a dream.
Interpretation 5 — Silvana Amar
If glass is shattered in your dream, it could symbolize breaking of both negative and positive things.
For example, it could represent the breaking of illusions, denial, and deception. On the more negative side, it could also represent the shattering of dreams or hopes that a person has been holding close to his heart. Old dream interpretation books say that looking through a clear glass is a sign of good luck and through a dirty glass symbolizes domestic difficulties.
Interpretation 6 — Pamela Ball
2- To dream of breaking glass is to be breaking through those barriers (see Break). We are shattering the emotions that keep us trapped and moving into a clearer space where we do not allow barriers to build. Frosted or smoked glass can indicate a desire for privacy or our obscured view of a particular situation within our lives.
3- The barrier between life and the life hereafter.
Interpretation 7 — Nancy Wagaman

Transparency, such as a person’s thoughts or feelings being obvious.
Communication, openness, or honesty.
An invisible barrier (such as a “glass ceiling”) through which you can see something but not get to it, or see someone but not communicate with them.
Something being behind glass (such as jewelry in a display case) can represent protection, security, or the idea of value, desirability, or preservation.
