Owen SterlingDirty plates in a dream signal how the household and the family table are being managed. The brain uses this image to process the accumulation of daily tasks and the management of shared resources. This symbol points to the way provisions and domestic duties are currently being handled.
The grime shows that the work of keeping a home and its people fed is slipping into disorder. The dreamer finds that the common ways of supporting one another are becoming harder to sustain. The way the group meets its basic needs is currently under strain. A recognition of these pressures allows for a more deliberate approach to restoring balance.
White plates in a dream change the meaning by signaling that the underlying capacity for order and nourishment remains intact. The clarity of the objects indicates that the potential for a clean and functional domestic life is still fully accessible.
For its more general meaning: Dream about plates

Dear Reader,
Your dream signals influences, desperation and rising. This dream symbolises you are shielding yourself from outside influences. Someone is in desperate need of your help but is afraid to ask. You will do more, you will rise and achieve apparent impossibilities.
