Pot of soup

A long-simmered pot — many ingredients combined over time into a single shared supply.

A pot of soup in a dream is the dream's image of many ingredients combined over long, low heat into a single shared supply. The pot is collective; it feeds whoever comes to the table. The dream brings the pot when something in your life — a household, a team's pooled effort, a family — has produced something that is more than the sum of what each person put in. A pot of soup served around a table is the dream affirming the collective. A pot of soup gone cold with no one coming to it is the dream noting that the collective produced the supply and the people it was for did not show up to eat.
