A plate is a necessary table setting item. Plates are used for eating and serving dishes, less often for decoration. A broken saucer is often synonymous with a family quarrel, and still retains a ritual meaning - it is broken “for good luck” before the newlyweds enter the house, the start of filming, etc. This word is often present in various idioms - “to be out of place”, “to eat from the same plate”, etc.
A plate in a dream represents a household, wealth created through one’s own efforts, and sometimes guests and a feast.
Sonarium
A dream about a plate is a reflection, first of all, of home well-being. The best dream is a plate filled with delicious food, but such a dream should also be interpreted taking into account what kind of food you dreamed about.
A good dream is a dream about beautiful plates in a buffet or on the table - wait for the arrival of guests or news that will make you happy. Glued or bruised dishes are not a very lucky sign - problems have arisen in your family. A broken plate can be interpreted in different ways; it is usually associated with a violent but quickly passing quarrel.
Meanings according to dream books
People rarely dream about plates. Dishes usually do not cause interest, but this symbol can act as an important omen. To correctly interpret dreams, you need to turn to dream books:

Why do you dream about a flying saucer?
Have you ever seen a flying saucer at night? You are destined for a period of great doubts and worries, which will be filled with rather unusual events. Sometimes this is a sign that you were attacked by evil dream entities in a dream.
Did you dream about a flying saucer? Expect new acquaintances and unexpected encounters. Right now you can meet your soulmate. If in your dreams you did not experience any vivid emotions at the sight of a UFO, then the new love will be unrequited.
Empty dishes
Many people know that you should not leave an empty bottle on the table. In fact, this sign has a broader meaning: not only empty bottles, but any empty containers should not be left on the table:
- cups;
- dishes;
- bottles;
- pots, etc.
Folk signs
It is believed that empty dishes left on the table scare away wealth from home. The sign says that if you leave an empty container on the table, then there will be nothing to put on the table.
Another superstition concerns empty bottles themselves. Our ancestors believed that empty bottles could harbor evil spirits, and therefore containers left on the table would make the table “unclean.”
According to the rules of etiquette, an empty bottle on the table is a clear hint to guests that it is time to leave. Therefore, if you want to be known as a hospitable host, empty containers should be removed immediately or at least placed under the table.
Story
There is also a historical version of this superstition. At the beginning of the 19th century, Russian Cossacks found themselves during a military campaign in France. Of course, they visited local taverns. And in those days you had to pay according to the number of empty bottles on the tabletop.
Russians have always been distinguished by their ingenuity. Having learned about this custom, they removed some of the bottles from the table and, accordingly, paid less.
Bag
Some people have a habit of throwing their bag on the table. This is especially true for representatives of the fairer sex, whose reticules are not large in size.
However, superstitions say that you should never leave your bag on the table - you could end up without money. At the same time, the ancestors substantiated this sign. It is believed that money is an energetically unclean thing, and therefore it can make the table unclean. And the table has always been associated with prosperity in the house; it was called “the palm of God.”
Therefore, leaving a bag with money on the table entails the most negative consequences:
- wealth in the family will disappear;
- quarrels with household members will certainly begin;
- expenses will increase, large debts may appear;
- some believe that insulting the “palm of God” can attract thieves to the house;
- there is also an opinion that luck will turn away from the owner of the bag and problems will begin in his career;
- if the owner of the bag is not married, then problems may arise with finding a soul mate.
But from a hygiene point of view, leaving a covered bag on the table is not worth it at all. The eating area must be kept clean. Therefore, it is best to put or hang everything in its place. And there will be order in the house, and you will avoid unwanted consequences.
Detailing dreams with dishes
Dreams in which dishes appear can be different. It can be clean or dirty, folded in beautiful piles or scattered. The plates on the table deserve a separate interpretation - are they clean, with food, or dirty, with leftovers? To correctly interpret why plates are dreamed of, you need to remember exactly the details of the dream:
- Clean or dirty dishes.
- Where are the plates located - in the kitchen, on the shelf, on the table, in the sink.
- Availability of food.
- The actions that take place with the dishes are buying, breaking, eating from them.
A clean plate is a sign of a cloudless family life
Clean plates - for marriage
If a girl dreams of clean plates, it means that she will soon get married and be happy. She will be able to maintain the house at the proper level, and her husband will be an excellent owner.
Seeing beautiful, clean dishes on the shelves for a married woman means she is managing her household carefully, and the savings she has collected will soon be invested in a new profitable project.
Cleaning things up and washing dishes in the sink are household chores that will bring you pleasure. Undoubtedly, it is an excellent sign to wipe dry a clean, beautiful dish - such a dream speaks of an inevitable rapid increase in prosperity.
A man dreams of plates for an imminent wedding. He will get a good, modest girl as his wife, who will become an excellent housewife in his house.
Cracks on the plates definitely mean losses or a quarrel. Eating from such dishes in a dream means poverty.
A chipped old set means monetary losses, financial difficulties, inability to manage a budget.
Interpretation by location and availability of food
Beautifully placed plates mean complete harmony in family relationships. If a young girl of marriageable age dreams about them, she can have no doubts and boldly get married, everything will turn out well.
Collected dirty dishes in the sink - the situation requires immediate action. If you miss the moment, it will be very difficult to return to your previous standard of living.
It’s a pleasure to put things in order, wash dishes, wipe them and put them back in their places - a correct life position and set priorities will not allow ill-wishers to take you by surprise. No matter how hard they try, you will not lose either your home or your income.
Served table for guests
A beautifully set dining table is a welcome treat for guests, a party and a fun time.
Seeing food neatly laid out on plates means a new business will be very profitable and will attract a lot of attention. Perhaps there will be proposals for further business development.
Dishes and activities with them
Choosing a large set in a store means a big celebration, a wedding, or a large crowd of people. If you look for the right dish very fastidiously, your soul mate will turn out to be a very worthy person.
Eating from beautiful plates means good luck and prosperity. From old and worn out - to financial difficulties, poverty, inability to provide for oneself.
Breaking dishes means family discord, quarrel. If you dreamed about this before the wedding, the marriage will not last long and the spouses will be relieved to give each other freedom. This can be confirmed by any dream book: a plate, in this case, means a broken family life.
Collecting dishes and carefully placing them in piles is a sign of careful housekeeping.
Why do you dream of a plate empty, full, with food?
In a dream, an empty plate warns of illness or disappointment. The same symbol hints at a lack of communication or material wealth. Moreover, you should not hope that everything will go as you planned.
Why do you dream of a full plate? It symbolizes a very interesting and fascinating conversation, success thanks to efforts, prosperity, fulfillment of desires and other good events. It is very important to take into account what kind of food the plate appeared in the dream. For example, soup promises unexpected news, borscht - uninvited guests, and canned fish - trouble.
Knife
It is also an old sign that knives should not be left on the table. By the way, this also applies to any sharp objects, such as forks and scissors. This superstition appeared a long time ago, when people were not yet afraid of scoundrels and did not lock their doors. Then sharp objects were removed from the table so that a random guest could not attack the hosts.
Today's meanings are varied:
- It is believed that dangerous things lying in the wrong place can anger the brownie. In retaliation, he will begin to harm and cause all sorts of troubles;
- some say that a knife on the table causes quarrels between households, although it is not clear what this superstition is based on;
- Many people do not leave sharp objects on the table in order to sleep well, as there is an opinion that knives and forks cause nightmares.
So it’s better to remove all unnecessary items from the table. Firstly, you will restore order, and secondly, you will avoid possible troubles.
Troubles can turn into... a holiday
Dreamers agree that some dreams are things. Dreams are signals from the subconscious, which accumulates information regardless of the owner’s mood, and then sends him “bells.” Therefore, having seen a dream and correctly interpreted it, a person thus prepares himself for possible turns of events.
This also applies to such a meaningful object, indispensable in everyday life and having many symbols, like a plate. Big or small, more like a dish or a small saucer, it definitely cannot appear in a dream without a reason. It is very important to pay attention to the interpretation, and here's why:
- An absolutely accidental broken saucer is very important to interpret in time; usually it portends minor troubles in the family due to misunderstandings between spouses , and if you prepare for this in a timely manner, you can successfully bypass the stormy sea of everyday disagreements;
- the same thing can be interpreted as roughness between friends or work colleagues , in which case you should also prepare for their possible appearance and keep the situation in a positive way.
At the same time, if the dishes are large, then broken or cracked, or even more accurately, if there are several such items, this is a symbol of the upcoming holiday with many guests.
Other details
When the plates do not break into pieces, but only crack, then we can talk about betrayal both on the part of close relatives and on the part of subordinates and colleagues. The same interpretation has a dream in which the sleeper is served food in a cracked dish. Dropping a cutlery in a dream and trying to hide traces of what happened indicates a reluctance in reality to share your secrets with others. Perhaps the dreamer does not want to disclose some fact from his biography.
A plot in which an acquaintance or friend breaks dishes is of a warning nature . In reality, someone from your close circle will be the cause of all the problems and troubles. Dream books recommend not sharing innermost secrets with unfamiliar people, as this may turn against the dreamer.
Dropping a device from someone else's service means committing an unworthy act in real life. Despite the shame, the sleeper never has enough courage to apologize. If children are the culprit of the fragments on the floor, harmony and mutual understanding will reign in the family.
Where we only dream of optimism
Here are a few more interpretations, but not so optimistic:
- small fragments are what remains of the porcelain bowl: this is a disruption of previous plans, and harmonious relationships can give an annoying crack;
- a chip noticed in the seemingly ideal form of a dish - to the alarm that the well-being in the family is only externally so; one of the spouses is actually planning a divorce;
- as the personification of financial well-being, dishes cannot appear by chance, if a large and beautiful dish is cracked, or even worse, broken - this may mean the impoverishment of the source of such well-being, and this can be blamed only on the dreamer;
- the same action in a dream personifies the collapse of an entire enterprise if its leader is the dreamer ;
- a beautiful bowl breaks - business or partnership relationships have come to an end, this may also mean the end of a romantic relationship;
- whoever dropped or broke the dishes is the initiator of future events, but if only fragments appear, everything will happen by itself, without your participation;
A dream in which you saw a failed attempt to break dishes by someone you know is indicative - this means that this is the same secret enemy who has been trying to screw you all this time.
