Dream meaning of storage
To dream that you are putting items in storage is symbolic of suppressing your own needs or feelings. You tend to put other’s needs ahead of your own.
Alternatively, dreaming of things in storage represents memories that you are holding onto.

Cabinets, drawers, shelves, cupboards, pantries, closets—household storage presents a powerful metaphor in dreams for all the thoughts and emotions we keep inside us, organized for our own perusal or thrown in haphazardly. These objects symbolize our brains, our hearts, and our bodies. They show what we keep hidden, what we keep orderly, what we choose to display to the world.
If you dream of putting things into storage, you want to keep something to yourself or leave it for later. You aren’t ready to think about it or share it right now.
If you dream of opening a cabinet, drawer, or cupboard, you are ready to explore something in more depth.
If you dream your cabinets, drawers, or cupboards are full of junk, you have too much on your mind and in your life. Can you purge some of that excess stuff?
If you dream of empty cabinets, drawers, and cupboards, you feel unfulfilled, or you feel like you need more in your life.
If you dream of open shelves filled with display items, you are open about who you are and proud of what you’ve made of yourself.
Broken or nonworking storage suggests you’ve neglected your own internal needs. Are you too busy organizing everybody else’s closet? Hey, they have pros for that.
