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.

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. See also: Chefs, Desserts, Eating, Food
