A vessel is a container or earthenware that is shaped in the potter’s hand. The Bible uses the metaphor that God is represented by a potter. The shaping of a vessel by the potter refers to the various trials God allows to come our way to test us and build perseverance to stand on His Word.

Positive: Dreaming of an empty vessel could represent that God sees you as an empty vessel that is ready to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Dreaming of a broken vessel could represent God allowing circumstances to try you so that He can reshape you.

Negative: Dreaming of God pouring into someone else’s cup may represent God choosing someone else to fulfill a mandate because you are rebellious, untrustworthy, or disobedient in areas.
