Bread board
A wooden board for cutting bread — a small dedicated surface for the daily, central act of the kitchen.
A bread board in a dream is the dream's image of the small dedicated surface on which the kitchen's central daily act is performed. The board is scarred from years of slicing; the marks are not damage, they are the record. The dream brings the bread board when something in your life — a marriage, a working partnership, a long friendship — is the steady surface on which the basic ordinary act of feeding each other has been happening for years. A bread board with a fresh loaf and a clean knife on it is the dream affirming the steady practice. A bread board cleared away with no loaf in the house is the dream noting that the daily act has stopped, and the surface is going unused for what it was built for.
