The answer to the question of why you dream about a table with food seems obvious: of course, to prosperity and profit. But not all dream books and not in all cases agree with this definition. There are stories where a richly set table is a warning of impending changes, and not necessarily pleasant ones. For a more accurate interpretation of such a “hospitable” image, it is necessary to take into account all the details seen in the dream.
What was on the menu?
If you dreamed of a table with food, it is advisable to remember which dishes predominated on the menu. This is what some of them dream about, according to dream books:
- meat dishes in a dream promise deliverance from problems and troubles;
- fish delicacies - to success, but if you learn to keep secrets;
- sweet products predict fun;
- seeing alcohol in a dream means unjustified risk and disappointment;
- soft drinks in a dream predict tears and resentment.
Dream Interpretation - Food
If you saw food in a dream, it means that you were careless with documents and thereby caused damage to your business. A lonely meal in a dream means minor losses. You sat at the table in a pleasant company - success in business awaits you. If you didn’t finish the meat dish - it means people you don’t respect will offend you.D. Loff said the following about such dreams: “Within the framework of dream interpretation, the process of eating can be very eloquent, or it can be dictated by the laws of survival, ordinary necessity. Did you “obtain” your food in the usual way or under some unusual circumstances? Is this a dish familiar to you or something hitherto unknown? If you watch how others eat, this indicates your unsatisfied material or emotional needs. This applies to cases when you believe that those around you are too insatiable in their appetites. In this case, it is worth determining who is eating and why you were not invited. How those present eat: grotesque gluttony speaks of excess wealth in your life or the nature of relationships with other people sitting at the table. If the process of eating food takes place in compliance with all appropriate rules of decency and resembles a sacred ritual, then in one aspect of your life you are guided by Providence or feel an epiphany.”
“Stolovsky” food as a symbol of surprise
Grishina’s dream book, explaining why you dream of a lot of food on the table in a public canteen, recommends paying attention to how appetizing it looked.
If you dreamed of a lot of different dishes that are not typical for eating in a canteen, and a long line of people with trays full of pickles, then this indicates that someone will pleasantly surprise you.
And if you see in a dream that in the dining room after dinner there is a lot of untouched, unappetizing food left on the table, then you should not expect from people what they are not capable of. Accept your friends as they are, the Wanderer’s dream book recommends.
Dream Interpretation - Table
This is a symbolic reflection of your current plans. The appearance and decoration of the table: show the state of your affairs and what your immediate prospects are. A richly decorated table with many dishes: a sign of success. If, looking at this table, you do not feel hungry excitement, and you experience pleasant satisfaction: this dream says that some of your plans may turn out to be very successful and promising. An empty or meager dining table seen in a dream: suggests that you are at risk of taking on unpromising business
After such a dream, it doesn’t bother you to reconsider your current plans. Work or desk: foreshadows some problems that you have to solve. Clutter on the work desk: a sign that you are confused in solving some issue. Coffee table or bedside table in a dream: symbolizes unimportant undertakings or small entertainment. If in your dream you try to conduct any business at such a table: this is a hint that in reality you either overestimate their importance or approach the matter without due thoroughness. A broken table in a dream: warns that that some conflict or mistake may jeopardize your well-being. On such days, it is better for you to avoid any clashes with others and conduct your affairs with great caution.
Home cooking is a sign of acquiring connections
The interpretation of the dream offered by Pastor Loff's dream book, in which you cover the dining table with a white tablecloth and sit down to dinner, prophesies the following: very soon you will find yourself in a company that you have long dreamed of becoming a member of. Did you dream that you were having a leisurely conversation at lunch? You can rest assured that you will easily gain authority among your new friends.
Serving dinner in a dream, but not participating in it yourself is a sign that you cannot achieve your goal because you do not have a patron. But setting dinner and sitting at the head of the table is a positive sign: you will be able to make not only connections, but you will also gain a reputation as a person who can help in difficult times.
Dream Interpretation - Guest
A guest is always associated with something unexpected and pleasant. It is customary for guests to put all the most delicious things on the table. The gypsies greeted the guests with the words of the song: “Every guest is given to us by God.” But at the same time, there is a popular saying: “It’s time for the dear guest to go home.” An unexpected guest does not always bring joy. In a dream, the presence of a guest is interpreted in two ways. Perhaps, before going to bed, you thought for a long time about the upcoming anniversary and planned what you would treat your guests to. The appearance of a guest in a dream may be associated with unexpected news or meeting. This symbol can mean unexpected trouble or personal experiences. So, in your dream you are receiving guests and setting a large table for them - in reality you will find yourself in an unpleasant situation and your loved ones are unlikely to want to help you, so you will have to get out of this situation on your own. If in a dream you made an appointment, but your guest never came, this indicates that in reality you are immersed in your problems and do not notice anyone or anything. A dream in which an unpleasant guest came to your house means that you will have to endure bitter moments because a very close and dear person will leave you. If in a dream you came to visit someone, in reality you will regret the wasted time. An unexpected guest in your home portends news. A dream in which you are hosting guests in your home and you have nothing to treat them with means that you will be deliberately misled and unforeseen expenses.
Holiday Abundance: From Riches to Needs
If you want to understand what a dream predicts of a festive table with food that amazes the eye with sophistication, then by looking for information in Miss Hasse’s dream book, you will find out: a huge fortune will soon “fall” on you, and you won’t put much effort into it.
But, not quite a festive event, but also crowded - a memorial feast, in honor of, for example, a deceased grandfather - a signal that if you want to change your life, then it’s time to stop clinging to the past. Sitting at a table with food in a dream, sad, means you will have to fight the need; and if you sat at the wake, like at a wedding, then everything will turn out well.
Why do you dream about a table with food?
A set table in a dream is a warning about interesting acquaintances and long-awaited meetings in real life. However, this is far from the only description of what a table with food means in a dream. You will find other interpretations in this article.

Leftovers, or Learn to Trust and Make Concessions
Explaining why you dream of a luxurious buffet with food, but upon closer examination it turns out to be spoiled, then be prepared for disappointment, predicts the Lunar Dream Book. Seeing a large number of scraps in a dream or picking them up and sniffing them is a sign of distrust.
But this is what you dream of about a buffet with enemies, the menu of which includes dishes unsuitable for eating, according to the Eastern Dream Book: you cannot reach a consensus with your opponent because both do not want to compromise.
Dream Interpretation - Food, food
if a person eats utensils prohibited by the Prophet, peace be upon him, such as gold and silver, then this is a sign of misfortune that will befall him. If he eats with his right hand, then he follows the Sunnah, and if he eats with his left, he will be subservient to his enemy and will be rude to his friend. And whoever sees that someone else is inviting him to breakfast, his dream indicates a long journey. If he just invites him to food, he will feel peace after fatigue. Whoever sees eating his own meat will eat from his property and accumulated goods, if he eats the meat of another person raw, then he will slander and defame him or someone else. Foods that are not associated with a specific time of year - this is a means of subsistence and permanent income. And food products associated with a certain time of year, such as eggplant and pumpkin, are provisions from Allah at certain times. The food of kings and rulers is greatness and strength. There is a pumpkin - a sign of leadership of the True Path and following the Sunnah. And the era of the Ulama is knowledge, guidance on the True Path and barakat. Eating food that tastes bad in a dream means trouble or imminent death. Eating something unpleasant that tastes means fear and poverty. Eating food that tastes good means joy and satisfaction. It is said in the Koran: “Indeed, verily, when we We give a person the taste of our mercy, he rejoices in it.” (Sura, Ash-Shchura, 42). Food that tastes sour in a dream means dirty and obscene speech.
