Sugar cube

A small white cube of pressed sugar — a measured sweetness ready to be added once and dissolve away.

A sugar cube in a dream is the dream's image of a measured sweetness ready to be added once and dissolve completely. The cube is portion-controlled; the user decides exactly how many. The dream brings the sugar cube when something in your life — a compliment, a treat, a small permission — is being administered in deliberate single portions rather than poured. A cube stirred into a cup of hot tea is the dream affirming the chosen, contained sweetening. A bowl of sugar cubes eaten straight, the measured form abandoned, is the dream noting that the portion control has been given up, and what was meant to be a small addition is now being taken as the whole meal.
