What are possible meanings for dreams of kitchens?
Begin decoding the symbolism by thinking about what you do in a kitchen. It’s a room where food is prepared and cooked. When you need to prepare for something in your life, you can dream about it as working in a kitchen. Symbolizing, for example, the preparation that goes into a wedding, a job interview, a holiday gathering, or a test.
Cooking involves combining ingredients and making something new out of them. The same idea applies to combining ingredients in your personality and character. For example, combine a good work ethic together with skill and resourcefulness to create a successful career.
Extend the idea further, and working in a kitchen can symbolize preparing for a change in your character or personality. Dreams can illustrate unconscious processes, and changes in yourself rarely come out of the blue. First, preparations are made in your psyche, usually outside of your conscious awareness. You could say it happens in your “inner kitchen.” These dreams often involve observing activities in a kitchen, rather than participating directly in them.
Cooking in a dream can symbolize “cooking up a plan” or “cooking up an idea.”
A kitchen setting is especially suitable for dreams related to creativity. See: Chefs
Another kind of creation is a baby. Combine sperm with an egg, heat in a womb for nine months, and voilá! A baby is born. The figure of speech “bun in the oven” expresses this idea. See: Babies, Pregnancy
An oven can be used to symbolize “getting baked,” as in frying your brain with cannabis or other drugs. For an example dream, see: Oven.
Kitchens are connected with diet. A kitchen setting in a dream can relate to food choices or nutritional needs. See: Eating, Food
Another type of need is for warmth, as in personal warmth, and kitchens are known for being the warmest room in the house. Warmth in a dream can mean relatedness or nurturing. A warm person is someone who makes people feel welcome.
Sometimes a setting in a dream is not related to symbolism but instead refers to something that happened there. For example, while cooking in your kitchen you remember that a bill hasn’t been paid. You are busy at the time and the thought slips your mind. That night you dream about a repo man breaking into your kitchen and repossessing your refrigerator. The kitchen is used simply to refer to the thought that crossed your mind while in your kitchen.
And finally, kitchens are associated with knives and cutting. Cutting can mean “cut off,” as in cutting off support or a conversation. For example, a dream about a guy’s sister grabbing a knife in the kitchen and cutting their brother’s throat symbolizes that she does not want to hear what either brother has to say about the man she plans to marry. She “cuts off the conversation.” See: Knives

Witches, demonic dogs, syringe full of blue liquid.
I had a dream last night, it was a mix of lucid and nightmare.
In the dream I was dating this girl who was into witchcraft. We were at her house sitting on the couch. Her front door had a glass door along with a regular door and she didn't close the regular door. I saw these scary large dogs with yellow glowing eyes standing in the doorway, looking at me through the glass. Then some people walked up and I somehow knew they were a part of the coven she was in or something. I said to her, "Why did you just leave your door open, now they see us."
We ran over to the door and pushed it shut as they were trying to push back against us.
I noticed the back door was just a glass sliding door. I thought "I hope she locked that one at least".
The people then came around and we crouched down behind the kitchen island.
They immediately walked in. It was 3 bald dudes in a mix of robes and street clothes.
They pulled out these syringes full of glowing blue liquid. I was very scared they were about to hold me down and inject me with them. But they didn't suddenly my fear was gone and I woke up shortly after.

I had an interesting dream I guess, it may sound like a joke but bare with me it’s real, can someone interpret?
So I just woke up, I was going to sleep for the night around 9pm(long day) and it’s 11:30 right now. The earliest part I can remember is me in an incredibly nice house owned by two women I don’t recognize, my cousin was there with me as well. He was just watching TV in one of the rooms and I was in another on my phone. Next thing I see a woman with her hand on my pants like she’s about to suck my dick, moving her mouth around and flexing her tongue. “Hold on I’m stretching” she then sucks my dick until I climax(bare with me ) She then starts talking about how a New Mexican poolboy started working and how he has a “fat bulge” and if they should invite him up. At this point I ask for another blowjob(not sure why) and she gives it to me, but I never got to climax, right in the middle of it, everything flashes black. Next thing you know the woman who was sucking my dick has my cousin bent over a table with his arm behind his back and clearly struggling. The woman had a really massive dick and I immediately ran out of the room. She/he was asking for something, screaming it (I don’t remember right now) and I run into my backyard in real life somehow. I take a long piss on my deck and run back inside for my cousin who I can still hear screaming. At this point I’m still inside of my house. Everything is dark and I’m in the kitchen and I see a disturbed little white blonde girl( also unfamiliar) asking for something in a kind way( don’t remember). I try to walk away out of the kitchen but the girl is holding onto my hand resisting. I see flashes of words appear, as if I’m in a videogame. I can only make out a few words, some appearing in blood and appearing for no more than a second at a time every 5 seconds. I notice one in particular “GO UP”, I then heard my cousin screaming from upstairs “(name) HELP” I run upstairs , I tell it’s coming from my bathroom and I open the door. “(Name) HELP HELP *i open the door* (name) help I’m a sexy tub of black ink” I see the bathtub filled to the brim with some sort of black liquid and the number “66” appear in my vision in blood red as if in a videogame again. I run away with the girl, and the tub of black liquid screaming at me with numbers and words still flashing in my vision. At this point I realize it’s a dream and it’s better to wake the fuck up right now. I manage to wake up and here I am. Literally no idea what it means and a little disturbed. Help if you can interpret

Vivid false awakening dream
I just woke up from a nap and had a pretty textbook spooky false awakening dream:
I get out of bed and notice all the lights are out in my apartment, and since I started the nap, it had gotten dark out. There were lights on when I started the nap, so I assume the power’s out and start checking switches to confirm it. Outside my bedroom door I see a weird, barely visible vapor and I get scared for a second, but tell myself it's just floaters in my dark-adjusted eyes and it vanishes. I ask myself if I’m really awake, and move around and knock on the walls and decide that I definitely am awake, because everything worked as it should. I leave my room and see that the light over the stove, the one i keep on all night, is still on and decide that that means that one light is on a different grid than the rest of the lights in my building (?).
I open my front door and the entire neighborhood’s lights are out - very spooky, I’d never seen it like that. No one is anywhere in sight, except for a woman in a long white dress, like a nightgown, leaning against a pole, maybe a hundred fifty feet from my door. She turns her head and sees me. I get scared and shut my door, which is now made of glass. Then I woke up.
It sounds almost cliche, but that’s what happened. Have at it.

I really dont know what the fuck to make of this dream
It starts with me falling off my roof and landing into a stranger's van, literally going through the roof of his van. Then they drive me to a FedEx station to pick. We get there not saying a word but stare back at each other, like with him driving without looking at the road just staring a me in the back with rubble under me. He tells at me to get out and I do. I then thought I should apply for a job at the FedEx to pay for the guys broken van roof. I walk in and ask to see if I can apply, I was shown to the backroom that looked like it was extremely armored walls(concrete with heavy duty steel I beams and plates). I then get to this vault door with a secret service man standing there, he open the vault. I walk into the vault and see that bill nye the science guy there wanting to talk to me (he did the come here motion with his hands). Bill then pulls out a gilden dildo and says "go fuck yourself" and proceed to weild the dildo like a mace and bat me over the head with it. Then I "wake up" in the dream in my bed. I go and do normal morning, entill I see the gilded dildo on my desk. Dispite me being a straight male I got the extreme sense/urge to shove it up my own ass. Since I am not circumcised I dont have any lube. So i try to find the next best thing, some olive oil. Got some from the kitchen and slathered the dildo in oil. Then ran to my bed and locked the door. I then slid it up my ass feeling much better then I think sliding something up your ass should be. Then I achully woke up. I still have jo clue as to why I have dreamt this, what it means, why was it so weird in the beginning, and why the fuck I would willingly shove something up my own ass and find it enjoyable.

My aunt that passed away came to say her last goodbye in my dream
So a week ago my aunt passed away after fighting two months in a coma, cause my pneumonia. I can’t say I’m sad and I haven’t mourned her passing like most people. I am a spiritual person, so I believe she’s gone home, back into the totality of the universe, where we all come from. More than anything I’m just grateful I had the privilege to get to know here and love her, especially because she took care of me all the time I went to visit.
I wasn’t able to attend her burial ceremony, since I don’t live in the same country as her. But I’ve definitely been thinking of her the past days and all the great memories we made over the years.
Two nights ago, in a dream, I appeared at her house. I am aware she passed away so I go look for my uncle (her husband). I find him inside his room and I give him a strong hug and I tell him, “I’m so sorry for what happened, I love so much uncle.”
Then I walk outside the house onto the patio. My phone began to ring, and I pick up. On the other end somebody asks me about a friend like, “What did Mike say?” At that point I’m confused, and I as I tried to talk I say, “hello, anybody there?” No response, only noise so I hang up.
As I ended the call I see my aunt walking out from inside the house with a container filled with dishes or clothing. She walks pass me and says, “Hi son, I’ll be right there with you in a sec.” At that moment, I’m shocked, I look at my mom and ask, “does she know?” Referring if my aunt knows what happened to her and that she’ll depart this reality. My mom replies, “yes she does.”
Also I must mentioned that her body was beginning to turn like black matter. It looked like black roots had began covering her body from here feet, kinda like the roots of a tree. Only that the roots where coming from the ground.
A little while later I see my aunt in the kitchen, and my mom calls me in and tells me my aunt is ready to see me. At that point I’m a little scared and nervous. So I walk into the kitchen and I make I contact with my aunt. She looks at me and ask, “Son, do you love me.” I replied, “of course, I have always loved you and I will always love you. No matter what happens or where you go, I will forever love you.” And then I tell her, “don’t worry, now you have become pure love, the strongest energy there is in the universe.” I hug her and she starts crying. At this point my aunt has three eyes, the third eye in the middle of her forehead.
It was so intense, it felt so real. Shortly after I wake up, and my heart is racing.
I really don’t know what her having a third eye meant. But I feel like she did visit me on the dream state, the astral dimension. I strongly believe she came to say her last goodbyes.
————————
Not sure if anyone has such experiences before. I’d be interested to hear your take on this and what you think it meant.
Thanks for reading.
