Garlic cloves, Bulb of garlic, Garlic bread

Garlic is strong, unmistakable and impossible to hide, which says a lot about its role in dreams. It's often linked with protection and boundaries, partly thanks to all the old stories about keeping vampires away. Cooking with garlic is all about warmth, flavor and the comfort of a home kitchen. A garlic smell you can't escape may stand for a person or situation that's a bit too much for you right now. Hanging garlic by a door means you'd like to keep unwelcome influences out.
