Dreaming of Buttermilk
buttermilk, kefir, sour milk, whey · mostly negative, with two happy exceptions
Drinking buttermilk mostly signals regret after pleasure, rash behavior and quarrels, with some hope of making peace and getting well.
What happens in the dream
- If you are ill: a quick recovery, the happy exception
- Drinking buttermilk: sorrow after some worldly pleasure, and a rash act that harms your health
- Giving it away or feeding it to pigs: worse still
- Buttermilk made into soup: you will be asked to do something very distasteful, with bad luck, brewing quarrels and strained friendships
- Waking up while drinking it: with some tact, you can smooth over a disagreement
- In general: losses from overextending your business
How you felt
- A sour aftertaste: the dream often mirrors regret after overdoing something
- A need for calm: it may reflect a wish to settle a conflict gently
Ask yourself
- Is there a recent indulgence I somewhat regret?
- Which disagreement could I ease with a little tact?
