Flour
Bag of flour, Sifting flour, Covered in flour
Flour is the humble start of so many good things: bread, pancakes, birthday cakes, gravy. In a dream it's tied to basics, simple resources and the comfort of a well-stocked kitchen. Old dream books linked it with a modest life that's happy in its own way, and the idea still fits: you have what you need to make something good. A full sack means you're equipped for a project. Flour spilled across the counter can show a small mess that's easy to clean up and laugh about.
Dream variations
- Sifting flourYou're getting rid of lumps in a plan before you begin. Careful preparation will pay off.
- Covered in flourYou're happily up to your elbows in something, and it shows. Let people see you mid-project; it makes you easier to approach.
- Running out of flourYou feel short of a basic resource, such as time, energy or help. Borrow from a neighbor, literally or figuratively.
- Stale flour at the back of the cupboardA plan you kept for 'someday' may no longer fit who you are now. Clear the shelf to make room for a newer one.
