Sugar
Sugar often speaks to both satisfaction and a curious restlessness—the fear that sweetness might be undeserved or fragile. Perhaps the dream asks whether you trust what nourishes you, or if some quiet hunger lingers beneath the pleasure you've been offered.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sugar, 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 sugar, denotes that you will be hard to please in your domestic life, and will entertain jealousy while seeing no cause for aught but satisfaction and secure joys. There may be worries, and your strength and temper taxed after this dream.
To eat sugar in your dreams, you will have unpleasant matters to contend with for a while, but they will result better than expected.
To price sugar, denotes that you are menaced by enemies.
To deal in sugar and see large quantities of it being delivered to you, you will barely escape a serious loss.
To see a cask of sugar burst and the sugar spilling out, foretells a slight loss.
To hear a negro singing while unloading sugar, some seemingly insignificant affair will bring you great benefit, either in business or social states.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of sugar denotes purity: if a lover dreams that his sweetheart presents him with white loaf-sugar, it shows that her affection for him is pure and disinterested; to dream of sugar of any kind, or sugar candy, is an excellent omen.
