A dream of a depressing dinner

[Zerodymeu]

I was at an Italian restaurant, sitting at a table for two and I had an engagement ring on or a wedding ring. But I was the only one there and like the whole place started filling up with couples and levery girl I ever liked/had a crush on was there with a guy, on a date. And I kept looking at the door whenever someone would walk in and then I would be sad because it was someone I wasn't expecting, but I wished I was with, but then I would realize that I was waiting for my date/wife and that made up for it so I was still happy. I ended up sitting there until the candle burnt all the way down, and the food I ordered for my wife or whoever and I was expecting became cold and the wine was warm and everyone else left happy and I sat there all alone then candle went out and I woke up.
Can anyone tell me what you think this dream is about? Does it have any deep meaning, or has anyone else had a similar dream?

Hi,

Candle is interpreted as fruition and dignity.
If one dreamt he was lighting a candle with his own hand means his blessing will increase.
If one dreamt there was a lighted candle at his home and his home was bright means a year of blessing.
If dreamt he took a light candle from someone means he will receive some dignity by him.
If dreamt someone gave him a lighted candle in a candlestick means he will marry with someone from a big family or tribe.
If the candlestick was silver means that person is pious and noble.
If it was of gold means he/she is from a powerful family.
If it was of lead means he is from a clergy family.
If it was of clay means he/she is from common people.
If dreamt the lighted candle blew off means his wife is in danger, if he is single means a bad situation is on the way.*******************
If dreamt someone blew off his candle means someone will be jealous to him.
Some interpreters say; if one dreamt of a lighted candle means he will have a baby boy, if he is single means he will marry.
If he is in travel he will be back soon.
If dreamt there were many lighted candles in the city means the governor there is just and fair, and there will be many weddings and people will be happy.
If there were light candles in the church , schools and mosques means people there will have a chance for praying.
Candle may also mean :1- a king 2- a judge 3- a child 4- a wedding 5- A governorship 5- a house 7- happiness 8- science 9- wealth 10 pleasure 11- a g/f 12- wife 13- as the same he dreamt

Hi
when you dream about a restaurant, it is usually something to do with your digestive system! My guess is that Italian food gives you indigestion and heartburn. What did you have to eat the night before this dream?

Well dreams can mean many things. They can link to new thoughts and insights into your situation. We constantly compare the things that we have to the ideals we wish for. You are maybe thinking and reflecting on what you have. What about the day before. Did you get a little moment of meaning - a moment when you thought about what you would really like? Or maybe did you think over what you have and started to value it?

------------------------
Dreams are best seen as building blocks of our own very thinking. They actually represent internal thought processes. The best way to understand dream symbols is to see them as words or collections of words. By themselves they make no real sense. For instance if a soldier appears in a dream we cannot truly understand that it means one thing. We have to interpret the symbol. Dreams symbols interact with each other and so their meaning can start to make more sense.

If someone utters the word 'war' in a dream then we cannot understand what the meaning of the sentence is just by understanding the meaning of the word 'war'. Yes war has many different meanings and it can be used in many different contexts. In the same way if the dream contains a war or warlike situation we cannot make any immediate conclusions on its meaning. The simple get out clause of all dream interpretors was to make simplistic comments. That war in dreams means that you have got to face some major challenge head on. Thats truly underestimating the true complexity of dream language. The truth is that dreams can use war in just as many ways as we do in spoken language. It may refer to a warlike situation involving you or someone close to you. It may refer to some war like situation in the past that has already been resolved. It may refer to your worries that someone is being warlike towards you. So in truth a dream is not easy to interpret. Often there are no immediate clues to say that the dream is about you or someone else, and also no indication as to when the dream refers to (past,present or future). But its best to keep in mind the various possibilities. Keep an open mind.

Just imagine the following three phrases "my boss said we need to wage war on these sloppy practices", "She was really waging war on me", "Tommorrow is going to be tough - the atmosphere is warlike" and "I was thinking about my experiences in the war". These are all rich in meaning and the presence of the word war does not in itelf give some strong clue as to the meaning of the sentence. In the same way the presence of a dream symbol does not by itself mean that much.
