A dream of having a meal refused at a formal family meeting - dream meaning with inherited lore
Having a meal refused may connect with worries about not being welcomed or waiting to see how the other family responds.
The other family doesn’t touch the food or says it’s hard to eat together. The meal you prepared sits untouched, and an awkward silence may settle over the table.
Korean lore: Traditionally, this has sometimes been read as reflecting a feeling that a gathering meant to share affection and maintain a relationship isn’t going smoothly. There’s no need to take it as a prediction of how an actual meeting will go. (This interpretation draws on folk dream readings that see sharing a meal as a way of connecting with others.)
Through the mind: You may be wondering how the other person will accept you or your family. If you recently felt rejected in a conversation, that feeling may have found its way into the scene.
