Pastries in a dream
In folk belief, pastries in a dream announce guests, a holiday and the effort made to delight others.
In the Balkans, pastries are baked for family feast days, holidays and dear guests, so old dream books read a dream of them as a sign of a gathering. A full tray of small pastries is read as a home with open doors, and baking them as attention to detail. The scent of vanilla in a dream is believed to wake memories of childhood holidays. If your pastry did not turn out, the reading is cheerful: guests come for you, not for the recipe.
