Sugar

Sugar cubes, Sugar bowl, Sweetener

A spoonful of sugar makes a bitter taste easier to take, and dreams use it in much the same way. Sugar often stands for kindness, flattery and small comforts, the things that help a hard day go down. Stirring it into tea or coffee suggests you're softening a situation for yourself or someone else. Mixing up sugar and salt, a classic kitchen mistake, can point to a kind word that came out wrong. Sugar that won't dissolve and sits at the bottom of the cup may mean your kindness isn't quite reaching someone.
