Barrel

To see a full barrel in a dream signifies wealth. An empty barrel is a sign of poverty and distress. A barrel containing foodstuffs such as honey, oil, or water signifies a person from whose knowledge and worldly means benefit is derived. A barrel containing wine, pitch, or the like denotes someone occupied with sin and corruption.

To see in one’s dream that one is carrying a barrel upon one’s back signifies that one shall attain a great portion of fortune; to see oneself carrying an empty barrel is a sign of relief.

According to some, seeing a barrel in a dream is interpreted according to the purpose for which it is used. If it is a barrel for honey, it signifies that people benefit from the dreamer; if it is an oil barrel, it signifies a man who spends money for charitable purposes; and if it is a water barrel, it signifies a person who provides people with rest and repose, or a man inclined to do evil. Whoever sees that he possesses one of these barrels shall befriend a person of such a character.

According to another narration, the interpretation of seeing a barrel in a dream means that one shall be compelled to make a very important decision concerning certain people who are very close to one.

Ibn Sirin: Seeing a barrel in a dream signifies hypocrisy or concealing evil deeds.

Ibn Sirin: A barrel in a dream is interpreted in the same manner as a tannery, except that if the tannery represents a free woman in a dream, the barrel represents a shy woman. A barrel in a dream also represents a bathhouse, death by drowning in water, or death from being trapped beneath a collapsed structure.

It can be read as a sign of easing, receiving support, gaining morale, or a fruitful development.

Underestimating opportunities, succumbing to comfort, or being late may reduce the positive effect.

In the interpretation, the themes of work and responsibility, success and reputation, the emotional tone in the dream, and how the symbol concludes in the dream should be evaluated together.
