Ginger root
A pungent root used in cooking and medicine — small bite at the back of the throat that warms a meal or a body.
Ginger root in a dream is the dream's image of a small bite at the back of the throat that warms a meal or a body. Ginger is used in small amounts; what it adds is heat without noise. The dream brings the ginger when something in your life — a hard truth told with affection, a small dose of edge in a kind voice, a piece of medicinal sharpness — is being added to an otherwise mild interaction and is making the whole exchange alive. Ginger grated in at the right moment is the dream affirming the deliberate small heat. Ginger added in a heavy hand, the dish now tasting only of root, is the dream noting that the corrective bite has been overdone, and the original meal is no longer present.
