Rice
Rice — humble grain of plenty and celebration — often touches success, warm friendships, and domestic comfort, with sickness if it's mixed with dirt. The dream may ask where simple, shared abundance is feeding your life and bonds, and whether the staple of your contentment is clean and wholesome or fouled toward separation.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rice, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Rice is good to see in dreams, as it foretells success and warm friendships. Prosperity to all trades is promised, and the farmer will be blessed with a bounteous harvest.
To eat it, signifies happiness and domestic comfort.
To see it mixed with dirt or otherwise impure, denotes sickness and separation from friends.
For a young woman to dream of cooking it, shows she will soon assume new duties, which will make her happier, and she will enjoy wealth.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of eating rice, denotes health: if you imagine that you see large quantities of rice, it foretells to one who does not live in a rice country, a successful and pleasant journey; and to those who live there, it predicts gain and riches.
