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 See also: Babies, Chefs, Dinner, Eating, Heat, Home, Knives, Ovens, Pregnancy
