Bread broken
A loaf torn into pieces and shared — the oldest image of community at one table.
Bread broken in a dream is the dream's image of the oldest gesture of community at one table — the loaf torn into pieces and passed around. The act of breaking is more than the act of eating; it commits the loaf to being shared rather than kept. The dream brings broken bread when something in your life — a meal, a reconciliation, a peace — is being made real by the act of giving a piece away. Bread broken and received is the dream telling you the community at this table is real. Bread broken and refused is the dream noting that the gesture was made and the other person has not yet been able to accept what the breaking offered.
