The Big Dictionary of Dreams

by Martha Clarke
The table symbolizes friendly fraternization. In dreams, it represents your relationship with your environment.

If it is rectangular, it shows a hierarchical structure based on a leader, who is usually on one side or in the middle. Your position indicates where you are on the ladder. However, if the table is round, it means that all those who sit around it have the same rank. But apart from indicating your “status,” the table can also mean other things. What is on it refers to what will soon enter your life. Thus, if it is filled with delicacies, the dream predicts prosperity; if it is empty, problems at home; and finally, if no one has sat around, it suggests that you need to feel more closer to your family.

The table predicts domestic comfort and happiness in the marital relationship.
