Trunk

Similar to a storage chest, except it may be word play indicating your physical chest. In either case it often refers to what you have stored away and perhaps forgotten. This often means the emotions or memories which you still hold within you perhaps even locked in the chest or trunk as muscular tensions. Such memories are often very powerful, passionate or painful, and that is why they have been ‘stored’.

The story of Pandora’s Box graphically illustrates this. See Pandora’s Box. For car trunk see Car.

 The trunk can equally apply to our body – our trunk – or an elephant’s trunk, in which case see Elephants Trunk
