Halva
A dense sesame-and-sugar sweet — concentrated richness produced from very plain materials.
Halva in a dream is the dream's image of concentrated richness produced from plain materials. Sesame, sugar, and patience become a sweet you cannot eat very much of at one time. The dream brings halva when something in your life — an intense friendship, a small luxury, a piece of inheritance — is remarkable not for the scale of the ingredients but for what was concentrated out of them. A piece of halva eaten slowly with tea is the dream affirming the right pace of consumption. A whole block of halva eaten at once, leaving the mouth and stomach in revolt, is the dream noting that the concentrate was treated as if it were the daily loaf, and the design of the sweet was not respected.
