I was a bottle of ketchup, and my friend was mustard, but she is normally mayonnaise
Dreams involving objects or food items, like being a bottle of ketchup, can often symbolize personal identity, relationships, or how you perceive yourself in relation to others.
In this dream, being a bottle of ketchup might represent your personality traits, emotions, or how you express yourself. Ketchup is often seen as a condiment that enhances flavor, which could suggest you feel like you bring an extra layer to situations or that you add fun to your interactions.
Your friend being mustard, when she is normally seen as mayonnaise, could indicate a shift in your perception of her or the dynamics of your friendship. Mayonnaise is creamy and smooth, while mustard is tangy and bold. This shift might suggest that you are perceiving your friend in a new light, or that their personality is changing in a way that surprises you.
Together, the dream might reflect a conversation about contrasts in personalities, the ways you and your friend complement or challenge each other, or changes happening in your relationship. It could also symbolize how you view your identities in a social context — perhaps feeling more vibrant or tangy compared to someone else's smoothness or stability.
Overall, this dream could invite you to reflect on your friendships and how perceptions can change over time.
