Meal

Vision: Dreaming about eating a rich meal: you lack empathy and concern for others—it is important to change this at all costs. Dreaming about a big meal while fasting (in real life) should not surprise you—your unconscious is looking for food. Wanting to eat but facing an empty table: you don’t have enough energy. Sharing a good meal with others: your kindness has made you very popular.

Depth Psychology: Eating is a symbol that your soul is being nurtured.

The dream is suggesting that you can obtain vital energies through spiritual nourishment. There is also something very sensual about a good meal.

Material aspects: From a purely practical viewpoint a meal eaten alone represents an aspect of self-nurturing; when eating in company, a convivial social process. In dreams, such images help to widen our perspective to encompass the needs of others. Offering a meal to a beggar would signify our need to share what we have.
