Korean lore: Traditionally, preparing food for yourself has sometimes been interpreted as strengthening your foundation in life and taking care of your share. If setting the table made you feel at ease, it can also be seen as stability in the household. (In folk dream interpretations, rice and the table have symbolized livelihood and energy, while preparing them yourself is often read in connection with the strength to carry on with life.)
Through the mind: If you have been putting off your own meals or rest while meeting other people's needs first, the dream may reflect a wish to care for yourself now. It may be good to make time, however small, to rest comfortably on your own.
