A basket is often used to hold and carry food, so a basket in a dream symbolizes the way in which you manage your emotional resources.
If you are carrying a basket full of food in your dream, you are very strong emotionally and can cope with very difficult situations. You may have this dream when you are going through a difficult time in your life and you are worried that you will not be able to handle all that life has thrown on you. This dream is a message to you that you do indeed have the strength to cope.
You may also dream about carrying a full basket when you are feeling content and happy in real life.
An empty basket in a dream is a sign that you have lost your strength. Don’t be afraid to ask others for help and support.
A dream that you drop your basket or that things are falling out of your basket means that you feel that you are losing control of things in real life.
Weaving a basket in a dream symbolizes preparing yourself for a new phase in your life.
