DESSERT

To see a tasty dessert in your dream represents indulgence, celebration, reward, or temptation. You are enjoying the good things in life. Whenever you dream of savoring sweet treats such as honey, biscuits, pies, cakes or desserts, your unconscious may be expressing satisfaction with your circumstances at present or, in some cases, compensating you for their bitterness. To dream that you are eating raisins could suggest a damaging lack of self-confidence but it could also suggest nourishing benefits that are as unexpected as they are welcome.

If molasses features in your dream, this defines a factor in your life that can provide much-needed energy or motivation; this factor may well appear as a result of the hospitality of others. To see popcorn in your dream suggests that you are full of ideas. It may also indicate that you have developed an idea that is now accomplished and ready to make its mark on the world.

Our society is obsessed with food, especially with tasty, fattening food, making something as seemingly simple as dessert a rich source of symbolic associations. Desserts can represent enjoying the good things of life, indulgence, overindulgence, celebration, reward, and temptation. Because they are served at the end of the meal, they often indicate the final stage or the completion of a project.
