I dreamed that I was having food with a friend that was deceased. There were many of us but my plate was served last & another friend had his food on a silver plate. I awoken before I got to eat.
Dreams involving deceased individuals often carry emotional significance and can be manifestations of our subconscious processing grief or memories associated with that person. In your dream, sharing food with your deceased friend in a gathering suggests a sense of connection, nostalgia, or the desire to communicate with them. Food often symbolizes nourishment, comfort, and shared experiences, indicating that you're seeking or experiencing a sense of togetherness or longing for the past.
The detail about your plate being served last may reflect feelings of being overlooked or unrecognized in certain aspects of your life. It could signify a sense of dissatisfaction, potentially tied to feelings of inadequacy or being less important compared to others, especially as you noticed another friend being served food on a silver plate, which might symbolize privilege or a more favorable position.
Waking before you could eat in the dream may indicate that you feel deprived of certain experiences or fulfillment in your life. It suggests a yearning for closure, nourishment (emotionally or spiritually), or a desire to address unresolved feelings related to your friend’s passing.
Overall, this dream could encourage you to reflect on your feelings about your friend, your current relationships, and how you can seek emotional nourishment in your waking life.
