The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
The oneiric thoughts in which you eat sweets announce not only pleasures but also the need to take care of expenses caused by some superfluous whims.

If the candies are stale you must be cautious with your health, as there are great chances of becoming ill. Receiving sweets is a warning that you will be flattered by someone you are not sure about her intentions, so you must be attentive to her movements; but if, on the contrary, it is you who make them, then it becomes evident the profit after hard work.

In general, sweets are an omen of good business; but to receive them indicates deceit; and to buy them, some minor trouble.

A Guide to Dreams and Sleep Experiences

by Tony Crisp
Sensual pleasure; pleasures in life; special love. Ex­ample: A lot of sweets, brightly wrapped, were being put into my open hands. All I saw of the giver were his hands. Beauti­ful, big, gnarled hands of a working man’ (Alex U). Alex saw the hands as the holiness of everyday human experience, es­pecially regarding self-giving, as in parenthood, love and work —the hands of Christ we forget. Alex doesn’t eat sweets, so they represent pleasures he seldom allows himself, the plea­sure of everyday life and love.

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
Seeing or eating sweets in a dream indicates one’s sincerity in his religious attendance, release of a prisoner, arrival of a traveller, recovery of a sick person, marriage of an unwed person, guidance, repentance, learning the Qur’an, buying new clothing for one’s children, having a loyal servant, or earning blessed monies. Seasonal sweets in a dream represent witnessing an annual festival, or the reinstatement of a just ruler.

To feel saturated with sweets in a dream means self-conceit, lies, or it could mean extollment, or speaking nice words. Eating sweets in a dream also means suffering from cold symptoms. Though, eating fermented sweets or preserves in a dream may represent a cure.

If a sweet is made from the basic four ingredients (i.e., honey, sugar, flour and manna or dates, or other fillings) in a dream, it means happiness, longevity, or escaping from the consequences of a dangerous business one ventures in with greed. As for a believer, eating sweets in a dream means tasting the blessings of one’s faith, though for a disbeliever, it means indulging in the pleasures of this world.
