A cave is a quiet, dark, and mysterious place. This dream image is symbolism for the sleeper’s inner mind, which needs to be explored. This encourages self knowledge and self awareness.

The dream image of a cave can also mean a sanctuary, where you can retreat into, to think and meditate. It can also mean a safe place.

If the sleeper dreams of spending a period of time inside a cave, it could imply an epiphany. After the sleeper emerges from this cave, they may experience change or maturity.
