Oatmeal
To dream of oatmeal represents feelings about the beginning of a situation where you benefit from behavior that is consistent about being down-to-earth, humble, or well-grounded. Situations where you feel that being down to earth or humble will help you get through them more easily. Situations where believing in yourself too much doesn't help you or might get back at you. Feeling that it's safer to avoid being arrogant, overconfident, talking about yourself too much, or being boastful to respect yourself while enduring a situation. Feeling good not always believing you're right because that way of thinking might be unintelligent or have consequences. Avoiding talk about yourself being too important to avoid looking stupid.
Negatively, oatmeal may reflect feelings of not liking having to be consistent abou down-to-earth, humble, or well-grounded. Learning to be realistic. Feeling that your life has been downgraded, but that you don't have to lose as long as you safely don't embarrass yourself being arrogant, overconfident, talking about yourself too much, or boastful. Feeling forced to be nice to people with a lowered ego because it's the safe thing to do.
To dream of an oatmeal cookie represents feelings of treating yourself to getting away with something that's innocent without anyone minding it by being humble, grounded, or down to earth. A small reward or comfort that comes from being humble or down-to-earth.
Example: An older woman dreamed of being served oatmeal by a waiter. In waking life, she was experiencing disappointment. In this case, the oatmeal may have reflected her feelings about needing to begin to adopt a humble and grounded attitude to get through her disappointment, finding comfort in simplicity during a difficult time.
Example 2: A woman dreamed of making her brother oatmeal cookies in a special way that he'd always liked. In waking life, she had separated from her husband and was now planning to return to live with him after her husband made some significant changes to his behavior. In this case, the oatmeal cookies may have reflected her feelings about returning to her sex life with her husband after moving back in with him as long as he stayed down to earth about believing that changes in their relationship were important to maintain.
