Doughnuts
To dream of a doughnut (donut) represents enjoying taking a break from responsibilities. Enjoying idle time or taking time off. Awareness of the importance between the balance time off and hard work. Enjoying wasting time because you feel you deserve to take a break from a responsibility.
Negatively, dreaming of doughnuts represents taking too long of a break from important responsibilities or neglecting something that's important to remain disciplined with. Overdoing enjoying idle time or taking time off. Enjoying being lazy that doesn't stay on top of responsibilities. Enjoying time off exercise or keeping a healthy diet. Overindulgence, laziness, or procrastination. Losing focus due to distractions or idle behavior. Wasting time. Becoming too accustomed to taking a break from responsibilities. Looking stupid taking too much time off work or responsibilities.
The flavor of the doughnut adds additional symbolism. For example, a chocolate donut may symbolize your feelings about treating yourself to break.
Example: A man dreamed of being criticized for eating too many doughnuts. In waking life, he was self-conscious about gaining too much weight due to an illness. In this case, being criticized for eating too many doughnuts may have reflected his feeling about appearing lazy to other people about enjoying too much time off exercise and proper diet due to his illness.
