Onion

Full Interpretation

Onions in dreams represent layers, tears, hidden depth, the process of uncovering truth, and the understanding that profound experiences often come wrapped in many protective coverings. Peeling an onion suggests you are uncovering layers of truth, each revealing something deeper and more emotional than the last. Psychologically, the onion symbolises the layered nature of the psyche — the understanding that the self is not a single, solid entity but a complex structure of accumulated experiences, defences, and truths. Spiritually, the onion teaches that truth reveals itself layer by layer, and that tears are often the price of deeper understanding.
