What are possible meanings for dreams of restaurants and bars?
A restaurant setting in a dream presents a variety of possibilities for symbolism. Consider what you do at a restaurant and a restaurant’s function and purpose.
Restaurants are where you consume food, and consumption in a dream relates to the larger idea of what you choose to take into yourself. See: Eating, Food
Restaurants are where you make choices. See: Menus
Restaurants are popular settings for dates and special occasions. Some relationships begin and end at restaurants. Business deals are struck. Anniversaries are celebrated. These associations can be used by dreams to create symbolism and refer to events in your life.
For example, a woman wondering whether her boyfriend is going to “pop the question” dreams about being in the restaurant where they had their first date. A chef-character says that a special meal is being prepared for them, symbolizing her anticipation that her boyfriend will soon give her that “special moment.”
Another woman dreams about being in a restaurant with her ex-husband. He tells her that things are being worked out, and a contract is drawn up. It symbolizes her decision to finally put the relationship completely behind her. Her ex is a lawyer, so the idea of a deal fits with how she would expect him to behave under the circumstances. The restaurant setting is used because it’s where people can meet in neutral territory.
Restaurants can be busy and hectic, and if your life is busy and hectic, then your dreams can symbolize it as working in a restaurant. This association is even stronger in people who have worked in restaurants.
For example, a man dreams that he has two jobs, both in restaurants, and decides to call off of one of them. Having two jobs symbolizes his feeling of being overextended. He has a career and home to take care of, and he’s too busy with work related to his career, so his job at home has to wait. His career involves juggling many responsibilities at once, which is the nature of restaurant work. And cleaning up his home involves many of the same tasks involved in restaurant work, such as preparing meals and sweeping floors.
A lot of preparation goes into getting ready for “the rush,” a restaurant term for the busy hours of service. It’s a ready-made analogy for rushing to get ready for a big event, such as preparing for relatives to come over for the holidays, or working on a project that requires attention to detail and multitasking. Another characteristic of working in a restaurant is that it can alternate between periods of idleness and busy-ness.

Disturbing dream - please help interpret
[TW: disturbing imagery of animals in distress]
I Posted on a different subreddit but no one has given me any answers, so I’m posting here.
Hello, I’m a 20 year old female and last night I had a very very disturbing dream. Let me start off by saying this dream happened the day I tried to reconnect with my mother after cutting her off for over a year (thanks Forgiveness Therapy) , and I haven’t really spoken to my family in months, (not for lack of trying they just don’t contact me back). I used to live in the country where it was commonplace to see cows, livestock, and deer everywhere.
In this dream I was about 10. My mother, step father, sister(16 in dream), my brother (13 in dream) , and I were in my step dad’s old truck going to a carnival/ petting zoo sort of thing. Everything seemed to be okay, we were laughing and talking together like we were a family, until we got to our destination. We all got out of the truck and walked up to this barn, when we went inside I noticed a long-horned bull behind steel bars with its head sticking out from the bottom, it looked like it was dying and in search of water. I was concerned but everyone just kept walking and joking/laughing, it was like I was the only one who cared.
All of the sudden the scenery changed and we were walking down a paved road to get to our old house, I looked to the grass side of the road and a tractor had crashed into a barbed wire fence with cows surrounding the wreck, some of them dead. I remember being worried about the driver because he was nowhere to be seen. We kept walking, I looked to another pasture and saw dozens of horses, one was laying on the ground with metal chains wrapped around its feet and mouth, again I was freaking out a little but kept moving on. Finally when we came to a stop I saw one of the pasture owners working on the fence a couple yards away from the horses. I quickly ran up to her while my family stayed behind, heading off the paved road onto a dirt road near our old house. I ran up to this lady and said “hey, that horse over there is in distress and I think we should help it, also there was a crash and I can’t see the driver-“ she cut me off saying “Don’t worry about that, That horse has a bum leg and always does that, go away” I was thinking to myself “what a bitch” and walked away towards my family.
We started walking back the way we came, down the paved road again and I saw the deeply disturbing scenes again, finally I spoke up to my family , “ hey, we should really help these animals and I saw a a tractor wreck I think we should check out” but no one listened to me.
Suddenly we were back in the barn and I was face to face with the long-horned bull, only this time it was dead. Disturbed I pushed my way out of the barn and ran to a near by open area, my family close behind. They looked at me like I was crazy, scoffed, and turned to talk amongst themselves. The last thing I remember was trying to get my mother to talk to me, crying and pleading for her to just listen so we could help those animals and the driver of the tractor but again, no one was listening. A flash of the dead bull’s eyes popped up and I snapped awake.
Please help me try to figure this dream out, it scares the shit out of me and I don’t know what to make of it. I’m also open to questions.

I really need help with a dream interpretation
I’m having a reoccurring dream that happens over a series of phases (with no connections among the phases) the first one is I’m shopping in a large crowded supermarket (walmart or target etc) with my Aunt ( on my mother’s side) and my father, I decide to use the bathroom, upon entering the bathroom i notice that the bathroom is way nicer than that of a supermarket almost like a swanky club. I do my business and begin to wash my hands, in the mirror I see a scraggly disheveled scarred man, I am instantly petrified, he reaches for me aggressively and I lunge backwards onto the door and begin trying to unlock it, he peruses me and before he reaches me I get the door open and fall backwards through the door back into the store. I call for help but no one is there.
The next phase is me, two friends/classmates, and my aunt (same aunt). We’re in a library doing some sort of paper work, and that’s it nothing interesting.
The next phase takes place in the fall and is me, and one of my friends/classmates from the last phase, we’re walking to class from the coffee shop (like most mornings) and he says we should detour through the recently built park (no such park exists or has ever existed) we walk through the park and then go to class.
The last phase is me laying on a blanket in the same park this time in the summer, laying next to me is a man but I can’t see his faces he offers me a red flower with a string tied to it. I take it and then I wake up.
have absolutely no idea what this mean but I would like to know. ( I’ve had the dream about 10 times now)

My Most WTF Dream
So a while ago I had this dream where me and a friend were in a restaurant and we needed to talk about something private. Because we were out in public, we needed a way to stealthily converse without being overheard. Suddenly, out of no where, a snake slithered up my butt and out of my mouth, then went into my friends mouth and out of his butt. The snake allowed us to communicate telepathically, but the people around us got more freaked out about the snake than they would have if we had just openly talked about whatever we were planning on discussing.
​
That was the only thing that I could recall after waking up. Really fucked me up.

I have a very lucid dream that feels like it's from the far future
​
Okay, this dream is gonna sound very strange but I swear it felt very surreal. When I was at TRC (Tennessee Rehabilitation Center) at the time when I was asleep. The dream started as me as an older adult (I don't know what I look like), the sky was either purple, magenta, or crimson at when going to a restaurant (I think it was something important).
I turned around and I saw this big spaceship just sitting there in the sky for a few minutes like the people in the ship wanted something from me to the point where it got eerie. Then my future wife called for me, I was later playing with my food in the restaurant and my wife noticed that I was very unnerved by something.
She asked "Are you alright?", my only reply was "I'm fine" because I didn't want to worry her. She held both of her hands on my mind and said "Whatever you're going through, it's gonna be okay." I nodded in agreement with my wife and the dream ended.
What's your experience/Do you have any questions?

Could this dream mean something or nah?
Had this dream just today.
It was night time, and I was at a fast food place with this girl I know in real life named Lexi. We were sitting on a bench outside the building that was right in front of the mic and screen that’s used to order your food. And there were bushes around us. We were both just sitting together chatting, and we were the only ones there. I don’t remember all that we talked about, but I remember Lexi saying to me that she wish she could explain things like I can because she likes my voice. And she had said that second part about liking my voice twice trying to repeat what she said. She was smiling at me while she said it, and said it in a manner that was as if she had a crush on me. The weird thing is that she did also mention something about her boyfriend (even though irl she’s single)? I don’t remember too clearly though. Anyways, it was a pretty sweet dream.
