Lentil Dream Meaning

Dreaming of lentils usually stands for security at home and a pull toward a simple life. In Bengal, masoor dal (red lentils) is on the plate almost every day, so in a dream it is often tied to family and to the basic need to get by. How much dal there was, and in what state, shows what the dream is pointing to.

• A jar full of lentils

  This expresses a sense of having enough. Your mind is at ease knowing the home has what it needs.

• A nearly empty bowl of dal

  A fear of going without, or of losing something, is at work in your mind.

• Eating hot cooked dal

  This dream brings a feeling of contentment, especially at a time when you are looking for some relief in waking life.

• Spoiled, insect-ridden lentils

  Something you once could rely on, perhaps an old habit or relationship, is no longer what it was.

• Cooking dal

  This brings up patience and care, because good dal takes time and does not taste right if you rush it.

The lentil dream reminds you that the small things of everyday life keep a person going more than any big wish does.
