Puddings
Pudding — soft, sweet, comforting — often touches small returns from large investments in seeing it, and disappointing affairs in eating it. The dream may ask where you've poured much in for little back, and whether the easy comfort you're indulging is a sign your love or fortune may thin away rather than thicken into something lasting.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for puddings, 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 puddings, denotes small returns from large investments, if you only see it.
To eat it, is proof that your affairs will be disappointing.
For a young woman to cook, or otherwise prepare a pudding, denotes that her lover will be sensual and worldly minded, and if she marries him, she will see her love and fortune vanish.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a hard-boiled plum pudding, or a hard roll of pudding of any kind, is a sign you will be invited to a dinner party; but if you imagine the pudding looks soft and mussy, it foretells that you will go to some entertainment where there will be a row.
