Bread in a dream
In folk belief, bread in a dream means safety, a full table and the honest fruit of your own labor.

Warm, freshly baked bread means joy and hospitality, and sharing bread a friendship that lasts. It is believed that whoever dreams of bread will lack nothing that matters. A calm, homely dream.
