Food – Food is generally not an important sign in dreams. However, it can sometimes be extremely important, especially if the dreamer feels that there is something important about it. Food in general might symbolize not only physical food, but also intellectual, emotional, or spiritual food. It is important to understand that specific types of food have particular representations. Many times these meanings are very personal. If you dream, for example, that you are eating your comfort foods it might indicate that something serious is bothering you or causing stress in your life. It might also be a warning that something stressful is on its way.
