The Element Encyclopedia

The following foods have specific symbolic meanings but remember that whatever you eat in a dream is likely to correspond with your food preferences in waking life first and foremost; so, for example, if you hate mustard but find that it tastes good in a dream, this may refer to a difficult experience that is good for you. The interpretation would differ if you loved mustard perhaps suggesting a period of overindulgence.

See also VEGETABLES AND FRUIT for the symbolic significance of vegetables, fruit, nuts and seeds.
