Meat in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

Meat is traditionally read as vitality, appetite and the body’s strength. Dream books also tie it to substance — getting to the meat of an issue. Eating meat with pleasure is usually read as feeling nourished and grounded. Cooked meat on a shared table is linked to plenty and family, while buying meat at a market points to practical decisions and provision. Refusing meat stands for wanting lighter or cleaner choices. It can help to notice what is feeding your energy and what is weighing it down.
