If you dream of sandwiches and there’re people eating sandwiches, its dream interpretation is not grand.
A sandwich is two slices of bread with a filling in-between. Bread is a common basic food for breakfast or convenient snack. It satisfies hunger.
Dreaming of eating sandwiches and its taste carries meaning. Did the sandwich taste good? Did the sandwich have a sweet or salty filling?
If the sandwich had a sweet filling in-between the slices, it can mean the dreamer has a sweet tooth. The dreamer desires sweet sandwiches.
If the sandwich in the dream tasted salty, it can mean the dreamer’s life will be filled with thrifty habits and hardship.
How to interpret a dream of a bad tasting sandwich?
What has the dreamer been doing? Can they afford a freshly made sandwich? Bread is one of the cheapest carbohydrate foods. Especially if we buy a loaf of bread. It goes a long way. If the dreamer can’t afford edible bread to make a sandwich, it may mean their circumstances are bad. They need to examine what needs to be done to improve their life and primary needs.
Dreaming of bread sandwiches and dreaming of people eating bread sandwiches can mean sharing of basic food.
Its because sandwiches are a convenient food and circumstances are not very good when people have to eat them. Sandwiches could be a portable lunch or snack, when a complete meal is unavailable. Sandwiches are not usually a meal for the rich, who can well afford better quality food. This means the dreamer, or the person seen in the dream (who is eating those sandwiches) is not financially sound, or has been forced to work and exist under bad conditions.
If you work in a kitchen that makes sandwiches on a daily basis, then your dream merely repeats the theme you see everyday. In this circumstance, your dream does not hold significant meaning.
If you don’t do work that involves sandwiches, then your dream could have some bearing on your circumstances. You could be in a tight position, like being squeezed between two wedges. You could be under constraints and you’re feeling the pressure.
If you have special memories of sandwiches, then the dream is a reminder of your past experiences.
If you had intentions of making sandwiches, then you may dream of sandwiches because the thought has triggered the dream imagery.
If you have something important to do with a place or person in close connection to sandwiches, then this dream serves to remind you.
If you dream of eating a meat sandwich, the meaning could be that you desire to consume a sandwich with meat filling. If you have been eating meat filled sandwiches regularly, then dreaming of such a sandwich might mean a warning that you have been eating too much of this food. Processed meats like ham, bacon, sausages, deli meats and etc are bad for health, if consumed often and in quantities. Prolonged consumption may lead to heart disease and Type 2 diabetes.
If you eat two servings of processed meats in a day (for lunch & dinner), try replacing one serving with grains, nuts or beans. Buy breads baked with wholegrain flour, and containing nuts and dried fruit. Heinz’s baked beans in tomato sauce are delicious on plain wholemeal bread.
This healthier option will help to reduce your risks of developing heart disease by 23 to 36 %. Eating plant foods which contain sterols can help to lower blood cholesterol.
Instead of having processed meat sandwiches, try a butter filling with generous slices of cucumber and tomato.
As I mentioned earlier, baked beans on wholemeal bread taste good.
Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches provide nut protein so that you don’t miss out on meat protein.
If you must have meat, use chicken instead of processed meats.
As you become accustomed to eating healthier sandwiches, you will feel better psychologically. Your health may improve slightly. On the overall, you’ll feel good. When you’re good with yourself, there are less factors to trigger dreams.
A sandwich is usually comprising of two slices of bread with a filling. Sandwiches are a basic meal for breakfast or a snack.
The shape of bread slices can also carry meaning in dream interpretation. Bread slices are usually square or slightly rectangular in shape.
Square bread can be interpreted as the dreamer living a square life; life is regular, boring, predictable and safe.
Dream interpretation on texture of bread used in sandwich
1. Wholegrain bread is rough. Dream imagery of wholegrain bread can mean the dreamer has a rough and hardy life.
2. Fine grain bread is smooth. Dream imagery of fine meal bread means the dreamer is used to smoothness, luxury, and an easy-going life.
