Dinner
Dinner often touches sustenance and the company we keep at the table — solitary eating turning the mind to bare necessity, shared meals to fellowship or friction. The dream may ask whom you're breaking bread with, whether the gathering feels nourishing or strained, and what your relationship to provision and belonging is just now.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dinner, 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 that you eat your dinner alone, denotes that you will often have cause to think seriously of the necessaries of life.
For a young woman to dream of taking dinner with her lover, is indicative of a lovers' quarrel or a rupture, unless the affair is one of harmonious pleasure, when the reverse may be expected.
To be one of many invited guests at a dinner, denotes that you will enjoy the hospitalities of those who are able to extend to you many pleasant courtesies.
Fontaine, 1862
If you dream of sitting down to dinner with a large company, it is a sign you will either go a journey, or change the present location either of your dwelling or business.
