What Does Dreaming of a Cave Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In traditional interpretation, and according to Ibn Sirin, seeing a cave in a dream may point to a place of refuge, to protection, and to keeping clear of danger. Entering a cave may be read as withdrawing for a while to keep yourself safe, while coming out of it may point to a difficult period ending.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, the cave is both the deepest chamber of the unconscious and the place of rebirth; it can represent a period in which you pull back from the outside world and turn inward. Walking into a dark cave can also be read as moving towards a fear that has not yet been named.
