Jar
A jar — full or empty, whole or broken — often touches the state of your stores: full means success, empty means distress, broken means sickness or disappointment. The dream may ask what your reserves look like, whether the vessel holding your provision is brimming or cracked, and how well-stocked you feel against what's ahead.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for jar, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of empty jars, denotes impoverishment and distress.
To see them full, you will be successful.
If you buy jars, your success will be precarious and your burden will be heavy.
To see broken jars, distressing sickness or deep disappointment awaits you.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream that a house is jarred or shook by an earthquake, an explosion, or anything that may occur outside, is a sign that the head of the family in that house will be sick. Jars of preserved fruit or jellies, seen in a dream, are good omens; if you dream you are presented with one or more of them, it shows you will be long lived and thrifty.
