Cauldron
A large pot for long, hot cooking — communal preparation of food at a scale beyond a single person.
A cauldron in a dream is the dream's image of long, hot preparation done at a scale beyond what one person eats. The cauldron is collective by design; it feeds the household, the camp, the village. The dream brings the cauldron when something in your life — a family meal, a season of gathered hospitality, a project being prepared for a wider group — is being made at a scale that presumes others. A cauldron full and being stirred is the dream affirming the gathered work. A cauldron kept boiling with nobody coming to be fed is the dream noting that the preparation has continued and the gathering has not formed, and the supply will be wasted on an absence.
