Oatmeal
To dream of oatmeal represents feelings about situations where you benefit from 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 easier. A mindset that doesn't want to talk about itself too much because it's more intelligent to assume someone else might have a better answer. Situations where believing in yourself too much doesn't help you or might get back at you. Behavior that isn't afraid of being down to earth because you're experiencing a situation where you have to be. Feeling good not always believing you're right because that way of thinking might be unintelligent or have consequences. Feeling that your life will be better if you don't talk about yourself being too important to avoid looking stupid. Feeling that nothing scares you as long as you don't think you are better than other people.
Oatmeal may appear in a dream when you feel humbled by something, face embarrassment, or feel a loss of power with someone else mattering more while feeling the need to accept it to avoid looking unintelligent.
Negatively, oatmeal may reflect feelings of embarrassment or humiliation that you have lost power after first having more than other people while learning to lower your ego and accept it. Feeling that your life has been downgraded, but that you don't have to lose anymore as long as you don't embarrass yourself any further. Feeling forced to be nice to people with a lowered ego because it's the right thing to do. Accepting a lower level of status after having a higher level that doesn't scare you as long as you don't think you are better than other people.
To dream of an oatmeal cookie represents feelings about treating yourself to getting away with something that's believably innocent that likes 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 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 the oatmeal cookies that he's 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 into with him feeling good forgiving him as long as he stayed down to earth.
