Empty feast
A table fully laid with no one at it — abundance prepared for guests who did not come.
An empty feast in a dream is the dream's image of abundance prepared for guests who did not come. The dishes are real; the chairs are empty. The dream brings the empty feast when something in your life — a planned reunion, a public event, a hoped-for celebration — has been put out at full expense and the people it was for have not arrived. A feast taken up and given to whoever passes is the dream telling you the abundance is being redirected and not wasted. A feast left spoiling at the table, with no one called in, is the dream noting that the absence is being rehearsed, and the host is being shaped by what did not happen.
