Kitchen
Where you prepare the day — nourishment, family, the practical part of self-care.
A kitchen in a dream is the dictionary's image of where you prepare the day. A warm kitchen in use is the dream's image of self-care being practised. A cold or empty kitchen is the dictionary's image of nourishment that has been let lapse — sometimes literal, often relational.
Where you often see it. Your kitchen with the lights on at night. A kitchen of someone you used to live with. The dream uses the kitchen for where you prepare the day — nourishment, family, the practical part of self-care.
What it is not. A kitchen is not always domestic. The dictionary reads it as the labour-room of the self.
