Eating

What does it mean to dream about eating certain foods?

Dream about eating beets…

Dream: Last night I had a dream about eating beets. What does this mean?

DreamsMaster: Beets are highly nutritious. Often when we dream of eating a specific food, it’s a sign that our body needs the nutrients inherent in that food. I suggest you add beets to your diet this week, and if you’ve been experiencing any health concerns, make an appointment with your doctor to have some blood work done.

Again and again I find that my own inner counselor, my secret dreaming self, is not only wise and helpful but usually amusing as well.

Fish and fortune…

Dream: Eating cooked but not ready fish

DreamsMaster: Fish and fortune usually go hand-in-hand when it comes to dream interpretation. Fish in dreams often symbolize faith and fertility as well. It’s interesting that in this particular dream the fish is cooked but not ready. This could represent your faith, fortune or fertility (which could also represent creativity) is not yet fully developed, but is on the path. Give it a little more time.

Dream: I dreamed of an open sea… I saw lots of big fishes… then we cooked heads of big shrimps, squids and other fishes

DreamsMaster: Although every dream is personal to the dreamer and only the dreamer can truly interpret it, my sense is that this dream is a sign of riches ahead for you. An open sea could represent endless possibilities, while catching big fishes to feast on could represent the bounty ahead.

Additional note: Although dreams about fish or eating fish often symbolically represent good fortune or fertility, sometimes a dream about eating fish has a literal meaning. The body could be craving certain qualities of fish such as omega-3 fatty acids, which are believed to have important benefits to the heart and even to infant development during pregnancy. In this case, a dream about eating fish could be a message to the dreamer to add fish to the dreamer’s diet.
