Dreaming of smelling food at a feast - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as waiting for an opportunity or news that is drawing near but has not yet reached you.
Food is laid out at the feast, but you do not eat—you only smell it. The scene may also show you imagining the taste or watching to see who will eat first.
Korean lore: Traditionally, smelling food has sometimes been interpreted as abundance drawing near but not yet being fully enjoyed. It may also be seen as a dream about waiting for good news or a welcome meeting. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition that connects feasts and the smell of food with approaching good fortune and news exchanged between people.)
