Hello!
If you scroll down the page a bit further, there's a thread by axl about metaphors, the answer might help you.
Good luck!

I know that web but what I'm asking for is to take one concept, for example:
Life is a container
and find 30 examples of metaphors to this main metaphor
ex.
1. Life is empty for him.
2. Her life is crammed with activities.
3. Get the most out of life.
etc.
So I have to find the main metaphor for which I could find 30 examples.
If anyone has an idea where to find something like that I would be very greatful.
With respect to all
