Recipe – A recipe is a dream symbol for the way you approach creativity. You do not feel secure yet striking out on your own and making up the instructions for how to accomplish the things you want to. You feel more comfortable if someone else tells you how to do it. This is a good way to learn how to perform a skill, but you also need to let go of your fear of mistakes and accept that mistakes are simply part of the creative process. Alternatively, this dream symbol could indicate the tools you need to accomplish a task. If you dream that you do not have a recipe for something you want to cook, and that you therefore cannot cook it, this may indicate that you do not have a viable plan for how you will accomplish your goals.
