A wish to move on from a difficult relationship that prevents a carefree attitude about living your life.

Example: A young man dreamed of having a barbecue in his backyard. In waking life he was enjoying himself getting ready for his first year of high school. In this case the barbecue may have reflected his carefree attitude about the planning for school by spending the money given to him on preparing for school in a way he liked without having to tell his parents.
Example 2: A woman dreamed that her plans for a family barbecue were rudely changed by her ex-husband who chose to go invite everyone on a fishing trip instead. In waking life she felt that demanding to have a 50% stake in a family business was going to be easy and that she would just go start a new life afterwards. In the end the husband was far more difficult to deal with than she expected. In this case the barbecue may have reflected her feelings about enjoying an easier life financially while spending her 50% stake of the family business differently than her husband would chose for her.
Example 3: A man dreamed of joking about having a barbecue for a dead camel with an old friend he doesn't speak to anymore. In waking life he was disappointed by friendship. In this case the humorous barbecue comment may have reflected his non-serious attitude about enjoying plans to get back at someone who disappointed him because he easily could if he seriously wanted to.
Example 4: A woman dreamed of a dangerous man being murdered and dismembered with the dismembered body parts stored near a barbecue. In waking life she was having financial problems while worried about losing her home and feeding her dogs raw meat from animals she caught and butchered. In this case the barbecue may have reflected her feelings about feeding her dogs her own way with butchered animals she caught to save money without anyone telling her she shouldn't.
Example 5: A man dreamed of a barbecue with no food. In waking life he was concerned with a custody battle that was stressing him out. In this case the barbecue with no food may have reflected his wish to tell a story to the custody hearing or lawyers about why he should be easily given custody of his children that didn't work out. Feeling good making plans with his children his way that felt good that wasn't easy to make happen.
