Dry Cake in dreams
Celebration — communal acknowledgement of an occasion.
How dry changes the reading
Dry adds the matter-of-fact layer — the symbol stripped of emotional residue. The reading is more practical than the base, often the version of the situation you would explain in three sentences without colour.
