Olive oil
A pressed-fruit oil — the slow, kitchen-deep medium that quietly carries flavour through a household.
Olive oil in a dream is the dream's image of a kitchen-deep medium that quietly carries flavour through a household. The oil is rarely the star ingredient; it is the steady medium in which the stars are cooked. The dream brings olive oil when something in your life — a steady kindness, a quiet competence, a family rhythm — is the medium in which other things become possible. Good oil poured generously is the dream affirming that the medium is healthy. An oil gone rancid in the bottle is the dream noting that the quiet medium has spoiled in storage, and everything cooked in it from now on will carry the off note.
