Plate Dream Meaning

Seeing a plate in a dream usually brings up an account of what you are taking in from life, whether food or experience. A plate is really a symbol of capacity, so this dream often shows how much you need to take on in life and how much you need to let go.

• A full plate

  This speaks of abundance, especially the feeling of holding the fruits of your work.

• An empty plate

  Some need of yours is still unmet.

• A broken plate

  This hints at a sudden crack in a plan or a relationship.

• A plate overflowing with food

  You are trying to carry many things at once, more than you can really manage.

• Passing someone a plate, or taking food from someone's plate

  This speaks of a relationship built on care and sharing.

At heart, a plate dream reminds you that balance is what matters in life, not only taking and not only letting go.
