Butter
Fresh golden butter in a dream is a sign of good health and plans well carried out, bringing good things — though the old books note it can come mixed with a thread of sadness. The dream tends to touch richness and things turning out well, and to ask what is coming good for us, even if a little bittersweetness rides along with it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for butter, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of eating fresh, golden butter, is a sign of good health and plans well carried out; it will bring unto you possessions, wealth and knowledge.
To eat rancid butter, denotes a competency acquired through struggles of manual labor.
To sell butter, denotes small gain.
Fontaine, 1862
If you eat it, you will be surprised by some good fortune, but mixed with sadness.
