Like most containers, a cask represents the feminine principle. An apparently bottomless cask represents needless effort. It is more likely to be the content of the cask which has meaning on a psychological level and such a dream indicates our ability to be creative with raw materials - to fashion something of value. Since a cask or barrel is often hand-made, to dream of one indicates the care taken in dealing with our own emotional make-up. This is because a cask was, and is, mostly used for storage. For a woman a cask will represent her ability to preserve her culture or ideas, but for a man it is more likely that he feels he has the opportunity to enjoy the fruits of his labours.

To see one filled, denotes prosperous times and feastings. If empty, your life will be void of any joy or consolation from outward influences.
