Dreaming of Dinner

dinner, meal, supper · mixed

Dining alone makes you think about essentials, while dinner among guests points to hospitality and sometimes a move.

What happens in the dream

  • You eat dinner alone: you'll often have to think hard about life's necessities
  • You're one of many guests at a dinner: you'll enjoy the warm hospitality of people who can do a lot for you
  • You sit down to dinner with a large party: a journey, or a move of home or business
  • You dine with your sweetheart: a quarrel or even a breakup, unless the meal is harmonious, in which case the reverse

How you felt

  • A need to share: the dream often reflects how you feel about company and belonging
  • Loneliness: perhaps a sense of having to carry everything alone

Ask yourself

  • Who would I like to share a meal with right now?
  • Do I feel nourished, literally and otherwise?
