Interpretation 2 — Pamela Ball

1- In previous times to dream of a trunk was supposed to foretell a long journey. Nowadays, as people tend to travel light, it is much more likely to represent a repository for old things and hence signify old out-dated ideas.

2- We have the ability to store all sorts of rubbish both physically and mentally. When a trunk appears in a dream it is time to ‘open the box and have the courage to sort out what is there. Often, when one is ready to do this but docs not do so, the image of the trunk will appear over and over again.

To find a jewel in a trunk indicates the good that can be found in doing a personal spring-clean.

3- Dreaming of a trunk indicates that spiritually we need to explore our hidden depths to get the best out of ourselves.

Interpretation 4 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver

The trunk of a tree may represent one’s inner sense of well-being and personality.

A thick bark over a large, hefty trunk denotes a strong, rugged, and durable person.

A thin, narrow, bark-free tree trunk suggests a highly sensitive but wiry individual.

If the trunk is the long nose of an elephant, the dreamer may have a strong “nose for the news” and a very good memory. Alternatively an elephant’s trunk may have a phallic and sexual meaning. Finally, a trunk in the sense of an oldfashioned storage case may reveal the old memories and secrets to which the dreamer is clinging.
