White tablecloth
A clean white cloth laid on the table — a small ceremony preparing the everyday surface for an occasion.
A white tablecloth in a dream is the dream's image of a small ceremony preparing an everyday surface for an occasion. The table is the same table; the cloth is what raises it. The dream brings the cloth when something in your life — a meeting, a holiday meal, a reconciliation — is being given the small honour of a deliberate setting. A white tablecloth laid for the right guests is the dream affirming that the moment is being recognised. A white tablecloth stained early in the meal, the cloth not lifted, is the dream noting that the occasion was started carefully and was then treated as if the careful setting did not matter.
