Dreaming of spitting out bitter food - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been understood as not wanting to accept something you’re reluctant to do.
You put something very bitter in your mouth but can’t swallow it, so you spit it out. The bitter taste may linger, or you may feel awkward with someone watching.
Korean lore: Traditionally, eating bitter food has sometimes been read as enduring something unpleasant. Spitting it out has been interpreted in some traditions as feeling unable to accept the situation any longer or trying to distance yourself from it. (In folk food dream lore, bitterness is likened to a difficult experience, and spitting something out to rejection or pushing it away.)
Through the mind: You may have this dream when a commitment or role you've been forcing yourself to accept starts to feel like too much. It may also be a moment to notice discomfort in your body or the feeling, “I don't want this.”
