Burek (savory pastry) in a dream
Folk tradition reads burek in a dream as a hearty morning, good company and a simple pleasure that needs no occasion.
In folk belief burek, the flaky Balkan pastry, announces a good start to the day and a meeting with people you feel at ease with. Old dream books tie it, like every pie made of thin sheets, to patience and skilled hands, because the dough is stretched slowly. Warm burek from the bakery is read as a small reward after effort, a full tray as guests and merriment. People add in jest that it is a hungry person's dream, but a hungry dream can be a nice one too.
