Meat
Meat in dreams often carries the weight of sustenance and vitality, yet its condition matters — fresh suggests nourishment or desire taking form, while spoiled may point to something draining or neglected within. The dream invites you to consider what feeds you, and what may have been left unattended too long.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for meat, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For a woman to dream of raw meat, denotes that she will meet with much discouragement in accomplishing her aims. If she sees cooked meat, it denotes that others will obtain the object for which she will strive.

Fontaine, 1862
To dream of sweet and wholesome fresh meat is a sign you will be coquetted by a lady, and perhaps fall in love with her; but if the meat is putrid or maggoty, it foreshadows sickness and death.
