Cup

Mug, Cups, Drinking cup

A cup holds just enough for one person, which makes it a personal, everyday object. Offering someone a cup is one of the oldest signs of welcome, so a dream cup is often about hospitality, comfort and what you're able to receive. A full cup suggests your needs are met for now. The old line "my cup runneth over," from Psalm 23, turns an overflowing cup into a picture of more blessings than you can hold. An empty one may show you have room for something new.
