Psychologically: 

The egg is an ancient symbol of humanity and represents unrealized potential or opportunities that the future will bring. 

If a dream is about an egg, then this is an indication that the dreamer has not yet become fully aware of his natural abilities. It is a symbol of life and fertility, rebirth, a nucleus for new and changing things. In most mythological stories, the world emerges from an egg. Thus the egg itself has become a symbol for the world. Easter eggs have this symbolic character, although most people are no longer aware of it. Like the child (see there) in the dream, it heralds a new development, the completion of a new task or the beginning of a new phase of life. Emotionally depressing things will give way to a new attitude to life. This results in numerous meanings that depend on the circumstances surrounding the dream and the individual life situation. The egg in the dream also represents the amazement the dreamer feels in the face of the miracle of life. This is linked to the realization that periods of activity must also be followed by periods of rest and reflection in order to be able to process new impressions and classify them correctly. As a dream image, the egg always has a positive meaning. Very often one finds a whole nest full of eggs, a basket or a bowl in a dream. Such a basket is found by people who have returned from psychological oppression to the affirmation of the possibilities of existence. You are granted a kind of Easter, spring and a brighter day. In a dream, a man found a bowl heaped full of snow-white eggs under the bushes on his grandfather's grave. During this time, an extraordinary talent of the long-deceased man really began to assert itself more and more in the still young man - the old man's legacy was probably symbolically passed on in the eggs. 

 Others suddenly have an egg in their hand, a spontaneous gift from life. Still others pick up eggs from the street as if in a vanished spring tradition - the new can also come from the collectivity of the street.
