Meat in a dream
Meat in a dream is read as strength, a generous table and a gain that comes after effort invested.
In folk belief, meat in a dream means hearty food, celebration and benefit for the home. A roast is read as a feast and cheerful company, and fresh meat as a job that still has to be prepared before it bears fruit. Old dream books also look at whether you ate alone or with others – a shared table means harmony. At its heart, this is a dream about strength and having plenty.
