Tables – Coming to the Table, Negotiation

‘Coming to the table’ in a dream can mean that we are working toward a changes in our lives. When we are invited to come to the table we are opening up to new information. Usually we have to think through changes before we accept them. Over time, we assess the benefits and risks, and consider how and when to move forward. This is sort of a negotiation with ourselves.

If you are sitting at the table with others, you are probably there to learn something from them in a comfortable environment. Just as you might meet a friend for lunch, you might meet your dream friends, family or acquaintances. The others will mostly do the talking. We can listen to what they tell us and consider their questions.

When we wake and consider the conversation and symbols, we might find we are being urged to learn a higher way, find creative outlets, leave something behind, or consider new attitudes. You can pick up clues from the setting, food, and company. But just like a friend, there will often be a frank message in the conversation. The worded message is the most important part!

Table Shapes

Square tables might mean that we need more balanced approach to a situation or that we have achieved a balanced approach.

Round tables may point to an area where we are achieving wholeness or need to achieve that wholeness. But it may also point to turning our thinking or situation around, or that we should turn around and not pursue the course we are on.

Eating at the Table

Also consider the food you are eating. A wide variety of food might indicate you need to open up to more sources of sustenance. Eating dessert (end of the meal) might mean you are coming to the end of a chapter or learning experience, and will soon move on to another phase.
