Dreaming of Tea

tea, herbal tea, tea party, teatime · mixed, between social slips and homely happiness

Tea dreams are mostly about home and social life: small missteps and surprise guests, but also quiet domestic contentment.

What happens in the dream

  • You share tea with someone you love: a thrifty, happy home and a partner you can rely on
  • You brew tea: you may say or do something indiscreet and regret it
  • You drink tea with friends: social life starts to bore you and you look for ways to help others
  • Dregs in your cup: trouble in love or in your social circle
  • You crave tea: unexpected guests
  • You spill tea: confusion and sorrow at home
  • The tea caddy is empty: unpleasant gossip

How you felt

  • Comfort: the dream may reflect a wish for calm and closeness
  • Awkwardness: perhaps a worry that you've said too much

Ask yourself

  • Do I need a quieter moment with the people close to me?
  • Is there something I said recently that I regret?
