  • A quality associated with the food's texture, (for example, a banana representing slippery or making a misstep)
  • Characteristics associated with the food in traditional culture, such as a particular occasion setting, timeframe, ethnicity, etc., (for example, egg nog often being associated with the winter holidays or December)

Tips to Understand Dream Meaning

Dream symbol meanings are different for each person. It's IMPORTANT to consider:

  • Personal meaning - What the dream symbol means to you, what it reminds you of, how it makes you feel.
  • Context - How the dream symbol appears in the dream. For example, in a dream about a bee - what was the bee doing, how and where it was doing it, and how did you feel about it?
  • Look beyond the obvious - A dream is often about something other than its obvious meaning. Physical events in the dream commonly represent mental or emotional matters.
