Dream Symbols in The Dream Encyclopedia
by James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver
Food in varieties and in abundance such as in a cafeteria or an “all one can eat” environment may suggest ideas that need to be digested.
The statement “food for thought” may be a meaningful way of understanding this dream. Too much may mean one is fed up with a condition or relationship.
If fear surrounds the selection of food, the dream may be indicating the basic fight or flight response to something threatening to eat you, or that a lot has been “eating at” the dreamer lately.

See Cafe.
Depth Psychology: A cafeteria is a sign that you would like to have more friends. How about inviting some people you like to your house ?
