Morning porridge
A bowl of hot grain at the start of the day — the modest fuel that makes ordinary work possible.
Morning porridge in a dream is the dream's image of the modest fuel that makes ordinary work possible. The bowl is unspectacular; the work that comes after it depends on the bowl being there. The dream brings the porridge when something in your life — a small habit, a household routine, a daily provision — is the unspectacular piece without which the rest of the day does not function. A bowl of porridge eaten at the table before work is the dream affirming that the routine is intact. A bowl of porridge skipped, the day begun on nothing, is the dream noting that the small foundation was removed, and the work being attempted is being attempted on a lighter base than usual.
