BEER

(see Beverages, Brewing)

In Egypt, dreaming of barley beer meant longevity to the dreamer, whereas a beer made from wheat portended joyous times ahead.

Love and commitment. In old Germany, the Minne (love) cup filled with ritual beer was offered to the bride and groom at weddings.

Social occasions. In Norse tradition especially, and among American sports fans, this beverage holds the connotation of something shared with good company. As such, it may also represent the spirit of hospitality.

A sense of fitting in and being one of the “guys.” Among almost all civilizations, beer was the beverage of common, everyday folk, who usually enjoyed it with each other.

Ultimately a symbol of escapism, beer can also be thought of as representing the desire to celebrate, kick back, and relax. Beer is the original fermented beverage and connects to processes that happen behind the scenes and slowly change and transform into something surprising and delightful. Good things take time, and this hidden meaning may be expressed in a dream about beer, especially if the dream includes the process of making this beverage.

(see Alcohol)

Drinking good beer from a can or small bottle indicates something wonderful coming - in a humble package.

Drinking beer drawn from a keg or fountain is an omen of happiness and prosperity, especially if there was foam on it.

Flat, stale, or poor quality beer indicates disappointment in something for which you have high expectations.
