Inadvertently, sometimes you bottle up your emotions, preventing them from being freely expressed. This dream can be an invitation to be more spontaneous and to avoid repressing your feelings. However, the bottle’s contents will illustrate your situation.
Dreaming of bottles filled with water is a symbol of prosperity and joy; if they contain liquor it indicates that your feelings are not sincere: unpleasant incidents with the beloved are likely to occur; if it is champagne, you need to be more social; if it is poison, it represents evil thoughts on your part; if it is red wine, it will express your passions; and milk demonstrates your need for new ideas. Empty bottles indicate amorous disappointments, illness, or setbacks in your projects. You may be out of your internal resources and feel hollow. Despite the disappointments, you must try to recover and move on, and dreams may point out the way to do it.
[1]Vision: Looking at one or several full bottles means fun or an invitation. Empty bottles are a warning about an unpleasant event, or that you are at a disadvantage.
A broken bottle or breaking a bottle means bad news.
A full bottle of red wine is a good sign, promising prosperity.
Depth Psychology: A bottle is sometimes a symbol for sexual cravings, but it also indicates that personal and professional possibilities may be limited. Do you feel like an (empty) vessel? Did others imply that you are? Did you make a mistake, miss something? Do you have a tendency to put yourself down? Do others put you down?
[2](Glass bottle, Water skin) In a dream, a bottle represents a money pouch, knowledge, a womb, or a despicable person. Seeing or carrying a bottle of honey in a dream means learning a trick from a loathsome person. Seeing or carrying a bottle of fuel in a dream means earning unlawful money through an evil person. Blowing into a bottle in a dream denotes having a son.
The same interpretation is given for blowing air or inflating any sack or a balloon. Seeing a bottle of water in a dream may denote a wife, a husband, a host, a merchant, or a pregnant woman.

[4]A bottle is about the ability to contain a small amount of something, usually liquid refreshment.
If the symbolic meaning behind what’s in the bottle is to nurture you or please your palate, then the meaning of the bottle is your ability to contain that desire in a portable way and enjoy it at your leisure. An empty bottle relates to something you had in the past being unavailable to you now.
A bottle that is broken indicates an inability to contain something pleasurable.
If you know what is in the bottle, add that for a great distinction of your interpretation.

(3) If the bottle is empty, it probably represents your own (feeling of) emptiness. Do you feel drained, exhausted? Has all the enjoyment gone out of life? If so, ask your unconscious to put you in touch with appropriate inner resources, then observe your dreams carefully over the next week or so.
[7]Depending on its contents, dreams of a bottle represent nurturing and sustenance.

If you dream of a message in a bottle, consider the message to be a profound insight regarding your current circumstances.

Or, more negatively, “hitting the bottle” or to be “on the bottle.” A baby bottle can be associated with infantile desires or, more positively, nurturance. We also talk about how one “bottles up” emotions, or how “the genie is out of the bottle.”
[9]Capped bottle means closed or locked up inside, but can easily break through to new awareness. Old empty bottle is discarded part of self you do not need anymore.

[10]Gives gender-specific: In a woman’s dream, given the above significances, the image of a bottle is probably to do with her own intimate feelings about herself as a woman. In a man’s dream such an image will be more to do with his perception of women.
