Garlic in a dream
Since old times, folk tradition has read garlic in a dream as protection of the home and a guardian against all that is bad.
In folk tales garlic is the guardian of the house: it was hung above the door and carried in a pocket to turn away the evil eye. Old dream books therefore read a dream about it as protection and the feeling of being safe. A braid of garlic is read as a close family that sticks together, a single clove as small but reliable help. Folk belief holds that nobody can harm the one who dreams of garlic, so this is one of the soothing dreams.
