PAN / POT

Spiritual Meaning:
As always, any receptacle suggests the containing Feminine Principle, usually the nurturing side. A pot can have the same spiritual significance as a jar.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Just as a cauldron can be taken to indicate the transformative process, so a pan or pot can symbolize the ability to combine several ‘ingredients’to make something completely different. This can apply under any circumstances.

Everyday Material Aspects:
In dreams a pan or a pot signifies nurturing and caring. It can also suggest a receptive frame of mind.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
In a woman’s dream it will depend upon what stage of life she has reached as to the symbolism of pans. The three stages of femininity of Maid, Mother and Crone or Wise Woman are recognizable. In a man’s dream a pan is more likely to represent his attitude to the feminine.
