The message is the same about someone else if you are being overloaded with unwanted presents. Very often gifts in a dream simply symbolize generosity. Giving gifts to others indicates a desire to express your love for another.
Dreaming of Unexpected Gifts
Dreaming about unexpected gifts has a number of different meanings.
If you are the one giving someone an unexpected gift then it is an indication that you need to be more open and direct with others.
If you are receiving an unexpected gift from someone else, it may highlight that someone’s advances towards you in waking life is unwelcome and it is time to take action on it.
A dream about receiving a gift that is actually empty may mean that things are not as good as they appear on the surface in your waking world. A relationship may look splendid on the outside, but how does it make you feel when all the eyes have gone to sleep? A career may look fancy to others, but do you feel a sense of strong happiness and satisfaction when the lights go out?
If you receive a gift you don’t like in a nice gift box it could indicate that someone around you may have selfish motives but is hiding it by appearing pleasant on the surface. This dream is a warning to be watchful of those around you and not to take things at face value.
