The cellar is the unconscious, the hidden foundation of the house: memories, fears, forgotten treasures and instincts.
When the dream feels light
Finding something precious in the cellar promises a forgotten talent or a memory that heals.
When the dream feels dark
A dark or flooded cellar points to repressed fears, old wounds or secrets.
Ask yourself
What have I stored in the cellar of my mind?

The card of this dream
The Moon. The night road of illusions, dreams and hidden fears. The Moon shines between two towers over a path that winds into the distance, while a dog and a wolf howl and a crayfish climbs from the water. It is illusion, dreams, intuition and fear: not everything is what it seems; walk carefully by the light you have.
