Glass of milk
A simple glass of milk — early, dependent nourishment carried into adult life.
A glass of milk in a dream is the dream's image of early, dependent nourishment carried into the adult kitchen. Milk is the first food; the glass on the counter is a small return to that register. The dream brings the milk when something in your life — a need for plain comfort, a return to a household routine, a request for care — has put you in the simpler register of the dependent self. A glass of milk drunk without shame is the dream affirming that the early register is acceptable. A glass of milk that has soured in the glass is the dream noting that the request for early care has been left too long, and what was offered will no longer nourish.
