Dreaming of Ham

ham, prosciutto · mixed

Ham carries split meanings: prosperity and victory, but also betrayal and loss.

What happens in the dream

  • Wormy or damaged hams: your luck spoils
  • You cut large slices: you'll successfully meet all opposition
  • You deal in hams: prosperity and good health
  • You dress a ham: others will treat you leniently
  • You eat ham: you'll lose something valuable; if it tastes good, people will talk about you favourably, if it is bad, a scandal
  • You smell ham cooking: you'll benefit from other people's ventures
  • You see hams: a risk of being treated treacherously; if they are fine- looking, a good omen

How you felt

  • Appetite: the dream may reflect a wish for comfort and plenty
  • Wariness: you may be wondering who is truly loyal to you

Ask yourself

  • Whom do I trust without reservation?
  • What really nourishes me?
