Dreaming of Eating

eating, dining, food, meal · mixed

Eating alone brings low spirits, eating with others brings luck: a good meal enjoyed points to success.

What happens in the dream

  • You eat with others: personal gain, cheerful surroundings and thriving ventures
  • You enjoy a good meal with relish: good harvests and successful business
  • You eat alone: loss and low spirits
  • Your plate is taken away before you're done: trouble from those who depend on you
  • By a darker reading: family discord and disappointment

How you felt

  • A need for nourishment: the dream often reflects what fills you up or what you lack
  • A need for company: perhaps a wish to share more

Ask yourself

  • What truly nourishes me right now?
  • Who would I like to share more time with?
