Oatmeal

Oatmeal — plain, wholesome sustenance — often touches the enjoyment of worthily earned fortune, or, in preparing it, presiding over others' wellbeing. The dream may ask where you're nourished by what you've honestly worked for, and whether you can take simple satisfaction in a plain plenty that you, or those you tend, have rightly earned.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
