What are possible meanings for dreams of dinner?
Anytime food is consumed in a dream, think about what you take into yourself. Not just food and nutrition, but the knowledge, information, and media you consume. See: Eating
Dreaming about dinner can mean you’re planning your next dinner or meal, especially if the thought was on your mind before you went to bed, or you went to bed hungry.
The symbolism of dinner can depend on whether you eat alone or with company. Eating alone can indicate isolation, sadness, or feeling unwanted. Or maybe you need time alone. Eating dinner with company can symbolize enjoying the pleasures of friendship and socializing.
Also consider the subtle social interactions of eating dinner with company and what can be found out about people under the circumstances—from how they eat to what they talk about. It can mean that you’re sizing someone up.
Serving dinner can connect with the services and favors you render.
Consider your feelings. For example, are you anxious about how the meal will be received? That can symbolize worry that you aren’t living up to expectations, or aren’t doing enough to make someone happy or pleased.
Consider the preparation, planning, and work that go into cooking a big meal and how that’s comparable to something in your life. For example, you put tremendous effort into preparing a report for your employer. How was it received? See: Chefs
If you’re served a dinner or meal in a dream, ask yourself whether you’re happy with what’s served to you and what it symbolizes in your life. Think of it figuratively as a circumstance or situation that someone else has created. For example, a dating relationship is a situation that is prepared. Your significant other says, figuratively, “This is what I have to offer in this relationship.” Are you happy with it?
Or an employer serves up a set of circumstances—pay, benefits, work environment, type of work, opportunity for advancement—that is like a meal served to you. How you react can tell you how you really feel about the situation.

"C6725" keeps repeating
I just woke up from this dream, sorry that it's so long, it was just incredibly strange, and I wanted to write it all down before I forgot it.
​
My dream started when people decided that online school wasn’t working during COVID-19, so they shipped everyone off to this remote indoor location with strange red lighting for school. It wasn’t creepy, but the red lighting was prominent. My friends and I were taking a look around the somewhat futuristic, somewhat castle-like building and found a classroom that my little sister was in. I asked something like “how’s it going?’ and everyone said “good” except for one little girl who said “C6725.” One of my friends clearly understood this, as if it was a reference to something, and gave her a high five. We carried on with our day, I was asked strange questions in class. One that I remember was “Where is Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man now.” I responded with, “I don’t know, just look it up.”
Being stuck in this constant loop ultimately got to be too much, so my friends and I escaped. Outside, it was a total medieval castle, but the red light was even more prominent. I don’t know who or what it was, but something knew we were gone and was chasing us. We ended up getting completely lost in numerous corridors and hallways, getting separated, coming back together, and ultimately meeting up in the long twisty hallway. There was this strange-looking monk guy and a person who was only a giant head, arms, and legs. I asked the monk guy if he knew anything, but he only said “Buck-caw.” As if he knew what he was saying it, not being mind-controlled or anything. I was puzzled, but soon, everyone started yelling it, "buck-caw!" We got out of the hallway, and it seemed like all of the classes had met on the courtyard outside of the school as they do during a fire drill or something like that. I went to my little sister’s class, but my sister was gone. All of the little kids also yelled “Buck-caw” except for the one little girl who still yelled “C6725” and high fived my friend, this time followed by a fist bump. My friends and I just ran at this point though, the next thing I remember, I was at my house.
I was waking up in bed and the clock read 5:59, I knew that the previous segment was a dream, and I went upstairs. My parents were making dinner, except it wasn’t really dinner, they were basically splashing some liquid on a stove and watching it evaporate, they were talking about something, I don’t remember what. But it seemed like dinner was ready, I asked them if they wanted me to get my sister, they said ok. It was especially odd, my parents seemed kind of brain-less at this point. When I went to get my sister, she was gone. I told my parents that she was gone, I was panicking. They didn’t seem to care and just said “C6725.” That is when I woke up.
Oddly, this wasn't the strangest dream I've ever had, but it's certainly up there. I'm pretty sure it has something to do with COVID-19, yesterday was kind of the tipping point for me, it's just getting to be too much. But I figured I'd share in case anyone knows at all what this means. The "C6725" bit was what really confused me. Thanks!

A re-occurring nightmare, within a dream.
It’s almost like i didn’t have a dream the night before, but i “woke up” and had done my normal routine took a shower all that jazz you know? and so i play PC for around an hour with friends until i heard some kind of screech mixed with “ear-rapey” noises. And so knowing my brother and mom are downstairs i naturally go downstairs, but right as i go down the stairs everything goes dark and my heart skips a beat.
Now you may think that’s the end right but no, this entire process happens again and when i go downstairs everything is normal so i go back to my room and sit up there on my phone for a good bit. Until i go back down to get something to eat except half way through making whatever i was making the noise happens again but this time it’s in a way fading and right when i thought it was over it came back overwhelmingly loud and was consistent until everything went black again. Now by this point i didn’t take a shower, i immediately went downstairs to explain this to my mom and apparently i was down there for a while because the next thing I remember was her asking me what I want for dinner. And half way through her sentence, her words started distorting themselves it was like they were backwards but i couldn’t even tell if it was english. The entire time she was staring blankly at me “talking” and after around 30 seconds i’m scared sh**less and have adrenaline pumping through my veins. No sound nothing this time just black but this time the black seemed to be there for an eternity, felt like i was in the black for my entire life. And now i’m typing this out “awake” i don’t know if this is real or not, i’m questioning my reality at this point and am on the brink of insanity. I’m sweating profusely and am also very close to bursting out in a fit of tears. I’m mustering up the strength to go downstairs now.

I ask a mom out for a date towards the end of my dream.
The earliest thing I remember is that I was attending an event at my college campus. I was in the middle of work (I’m a 20y old college work study IRL) and my boss told me to drop in on the event and meet people and take a break from work. I was supposed to be there for about an hour. We are still working from home, so I was gonna be gone for about an hour and 30 minutes.
I’m at the event and I’m not talking to anyone, I just get there and look for a spot to sit. I still get paid just to be at someplace, so I’m not complaining. I set myself at a couch and there is this kid just having fun to himself next to me, he’s about 5 or 6. He’s the only one I talk with throughout the event, and I’m just sitting there enjoying my two capri suns throwing questions at this kid and answering whatever questions he comes up with.
Then his mom comes toward us. She was keeping an eye on him from a little distance while she was with her girlfriends. I get a closer look at her when she comes and she is beautiful. She almost looks like Zazie Beetz. Her facial features are different enough to know she’s not a celebrity. She must have been around my age, probably a year or two older than me. So she asks if her kid has been a bother, and I of course let her know he’s been good for the last half hour.
So we start talking and speak for the rest of the event and past that. We just walk around campus with her kid and have conversations about ourselves. She asks me about my job favorite things, idiosyncrasies and other stuff, and I’m just having a delight speaking with her. I never found out if the dad of the kid is still around, didn’t think the question was appropriate.
Eventually I get a call from my boss, and I was supposed to be back home for about 2 hours. She doesn’t know I’ve been gone for long and just asks me if I went to the event. So now I have to go back home and continue working. We walk towards my car and before I leave, I ask her if she would like to go out for dinner tomorrow. She said yes. I don’t remember getting her digits before, but I already had her number. I drive and get home. I wake up.

I am Trump
I am not a Trump supporter, but I had a dream that I was him. I went to bed pretty late the other night, and I started to dream about being surrounded by staffers buzzing about. I was in some kind of television studio, and there were familiar faces there like Wolf Blitzer. I was led out onto this stage with a podium, and on the podium there was a yellow sticky note: “Don’t say ‘cum.’” I was giving speeches about myself and the things I got into during the day while I was awake, such as going grocery shopping and cooking my dinner. It was a very rambling speech. What is the significance?
