Dreaming of gaining weight at a family gathering - dream meaning with inherited lore
You may be aware of how you've changed in front of your family, with both comfort and pressure in the mix.
At a holiday gathering or family meal, your body grows bigger, your clothes don't fit, or you feel others watching you. Family members may urge you to eat, or you may simply share the meal without a second thought.
Korean lore: There is no widely established traditional interpretation of gaining weight at a family gathering. But you can consider whether the meal felt comfortable or uncomfortable, and read the dream from there. (This reflects a folk tradition of looking at dreams about family and food through the relationships and atmosphere at the gathering.)
Through the mind: You may have felt as if your family were judging changes in your body or daily life. The dream may also reflect how comfortable you feel with family, along with the words and unspoken expectations at the table.
