Barbecue
To dream of using a barbecue represents feelings about a relaxed attitude about nothing being dangerous about having a good time while preparing/planning something without worrying about limits. Enjoying less rules or eased restrictions about making plans to do something than you usually would. Plans or preparations that feel good not needing to be serious. Enjoying planning to do something your own way that doesn't suck. Socializing or celebrating big plans you have because limits or restrictions were taken off you.
Negatively, dreaming about a barbecue represents feelings about overdoing a relaxed attitude about dishonestly enjoying planning to do something your own way that doesn't suck. A possible sign that you are frustrated with a situation that doesn't allow you to easily make plans, spend money, or socialize due to restrictions. A relaxed attitude that is making preparations to do something illegal in private without limits. Jealousy that you can't deserve to have a relaxed attitude about planning something without restrictions.
To dream of a barbecue with no food represents feelings about not yet having a relaxed experience of nothing being dangerous about having a good time while preparing/planning something without worrying about limits. The capability to socialize or celebrate about big plans you have because limits or restrictions were taken off you without doing it yet.
To dream of eating barbecued food represents feelings about experiencing a relaxed attitude about nothing being dangerous about having a good time with plans you made without worrying about limits. A carefree or social experience that makes you feel rewarded for not having to follow strict rules.
To dream of using a barbecue in your backyard may represent a relaxed attitude about having a good time planning for something without limits that you don't like talking about if you don't have to.
Consider the type of food being barbecued for additional meaning.
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 preparing/planning for school by spending the money given to him in a way he liked without limits of 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 during a divorce was going to be easy and that she would just go start a new life afterwards. The ex-husband was far more difficult to deal with than she expected. In this case, the cancelled barbecue may have reflected her feelings about her difficult ex-husband ruining her plans to enjoy planning an easier life financially while spending the profits from her stake in the family business differently than her husband would choose for her.
Example 3: 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 feel good talking to his children about making plans for the future without custody restrictions, but wasn't easy to make happen.
