Dreaming of a Banquet

banquet · mostly positive, with reservations

A banquet mostly promises generous friends and success, unless the tables are empty or the mood is off.

What happens in the dream

  • A banquet in general: friends will be eager to do you favors
  • You feast among well-dressed guests, with fine plate and rare wines: large gains and happiness among friends
  • Strange faces, a jarring mood or empty tables: serious misunderstandings or disappointments
  • In another tradition, dreaming of banquets instead foretells hardship and want

How you felt

  • Joy: a wish for company and sharing
  • Unease in the middle of the party: perhaps a feeling of not quite belonging

Ask yourself

  • Who do I want to share my successes with?
  • Is there a social setting where I feel out of step?
