Dreaming about the people around a table
What does it mean to dream about a meal with people?
A table in a dream is a cast list. Dreamers report who was around it and rarely report the table.
Who was there is the content: the seating, the people, and the table itself only when something is wrong with it.
The impossible cast is the characteristic feature: people from unrelated parts of a life, and frequently people who have died, present without comment.
That is the party entry's finding in a smaller and more intimate setting, and the intimacy makes it sharper. A guest list that could not exist is more noticeable around six chairs than in a crowded room.
Where this reads well
A good place to notice the availability pattern, since the cast is small enough to list.
Where it is harder
Where somebody present has died, waking is harder than the dream.
Worth asking yourself
Who was there? Could they all have been? Where was I sitting?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
