Dining room

Dining hall, Formal dining room, Dining area

The dining room is where a household comes together on purpose: birthdays, holidays and Sunday dinners rather than snacks over the sink. In a dream it can say something about rituals, hospitality and how much you value shared time. A room set with the good plates means you're keen to host and gather people around you. A dusty dining room nobody uses may show that formal gatherings have faded, or that you miss the days when everyone sat down together.

• A formal dinner you don't feel dressed forYou feel out of place among people who seem to know the rules. Watch, ask, and you'll pick them up quickly.
