Did you dream about restaurants? To eat at a restaurant in the dream indicates that you seek emotional nourishment outside of your own family support system. Consider the type of food you are getting from the restaurant, bread, cheese, cake, or real food. Think about the actions that you are doing in the dream. Note the occasion and location of the restaurant, the people who you are dining with. Finally, remember your own emotions while being at the restaurants. Generally speaking, the restaurant itself is like a kitchen outside of the home. Below we will go into dream interpretations about restaurants in more detail.

Dream About Actions Inside a Restaurant
Ordering Food
To dream that you are ordering in a restaurant and that the menu is long and hard to read; suggests that decisions and choices that you need to make in your life are overwhelming you. And if you are going through a drive-through inside the dream, it reflects that you may not be taking enough time and thoughts to make your decisions. Using a coupon when ordering indicates that you wish to maximize your resources. Consider your interactions with the waiters to see the best way to get support.

Paying Restaurant Bill
To dream that you are paying a restaurant bill, you are paying back some favors that you have owed your friends. If you cannot afford the expensive bill, it suggests that the favor offered by friends is so huge that you are unable to return it.
Eating with Friends
Dreaming about having lunch or dinner with friends suggests the pleasure of communicating with a close friend. It can also remind you to keep in touch with a lost relationship with old friends.
Wasting Food
If you order too much food in the dream and end up wasting them, it reflects your financially irresponsible lifestyle.
Buying Take-Out
The dream reflects that you still value your family above all else, although you want and desire a social life.
Dream About Different Types of Restaurants
Comfort Food Restaurant
Dreaming about eating at a comfort food restaurant at a time of distress; signifies that you may be looking for comfort at the wrong places. Depending on your own personal experiences, you will have to decide what kind of food is considered comfort food.
Fast Food Restaurant
Dreams about fast food restaurants suggest that perhaps you have been in a hurry with your daily life. You are not taking good care of your body. You might be looking for some quick comfort and support without building a strong foundation with your relationship. Perhaps it can reflect some temporary and short-term relationships.
Ethnicity Restaurants
Depending on your own personal experience, dreaming about an ethnic restaurant, not of your own culture, might have a deeper connection. For example, Chinese Restaurant suggests that your desire to understand the situation from a different perspective.
All You Can Eat Buffet Restaurant
Dreaming about eating inside a buffet restaurant suggests that you are overly indulgent with life choices. Perhaps there are many paths that you can currently take with your life. But the dream reminds you that you will not be able to take them all. Maybe it is time to experiment a little with each of the choices before committing to one path.
Dream About Restaurant Appearances
Dirty Restaurant
Dreams involving a dirty restaurant or pests like cockroaches; suggest that your friends provide you with toxic thoughts and emotions. Sometimes you do not realize that their thoughts are toxic. You will understand later when you get sick from sharing and listening to their thoughts and ideas.
Luxurious and Fancy Restaurant
If you dream of a costly restaurant with an exquisite interior of halls and different unusual, luxurious dishes, and you usually do not dine at such a place. The dream suggests that an important social event might happen soon.
I dreamed the next thing:
I was at a family event where I spoke with my mother and an aunt. On the way home we passed a very exclusive restaurant. My aunt asked if they really used that new healthy technique of cooking food and of all the fuzz about it was justified. So we went in to just ask the owners.
Suddenly my mother decides on the spot of buying us diner. There was a strange arrangement to be made with a woman eating there to buy her seats at a table. What I saw next was so horrifying: my mother had to sign a contract for that lady, then had to close her eyes and let the waiter take large amounts of paper cash at random out of my mother’s wallet. He took like stacks upon stacks. Just to get to sit at the table. I told: “mom, can’t we just stop and go home? I feel uncomfortable.”
Then I woke up with a feeling of anxiety.
I had a dream where I told the girl at the counter [Blakes Lota-burger] that I wanted to buy my family lunch. She said I don’t think they will allow you to do that. I said I’m buying, not the restaurant, I want to buy my family some food. She said I don’t understand. I said get the manager, I’m sure he will take my order. The manager proceeded to tell me about catering, and reserving tables, restaurant capacity etc. I said I just want to reserve one table, right now, to buy food for my family so we can sit down and eat. He said we can’t do that. We’re at capacity right now and the list is full. I turned to my mother and said, “Let’s go. They don’t want our business.” and we walked out to the parking lot to the car. I dreamt this twice but with different people but leaving with the same phrase both times. “Let’s go. They don’t want our business. Both times the manger was being somewhat confrontational but just kept spouting irrelevant BS like it mattered. I just wondered if it had meaning since I dreamt it twice.
I had a dream that i was Invited to a surprise party for my father in law the day before the party. The person who invited me had no intention to pay the bill and i was Told i was Paying it. Got very upset , told my in-laws about it etc.
ended with us lying in a ditch waiting for someone when they came back to clean up. SO CRAZY
I’ve had multiple dreams at this downtown area where if you take a right on a street and then a left there’s this Dinner it’s pink and light blue it’s in almost all of my dreams if not physically someone brings it up. I don’t know the name but it looks like a Dinner you would see in a cartoon and the burger they have there is supposedly great. Every dream has a different story this mornings one was my Dad mad at me for some reason so he was forcing me to drink an uncanny amount of rum to the point where I would die. But the waitress didn’t bring it and wouldn’t allow him to force me to drink it. At the end of every dream there’s this same guy with bushy eyebrows black hair and beady eyes that just repeats “Wakey Wakey eggs on baky” until I wake up I’m unsure of what this is can someone explain
The part about your dad making you drink large amounts of rum makes me think there is something in your waking life that your dad wants you to do but you do not want to do it.
I dream last night walking into a expensive restaurant with less money which i cannot afford for expensive food and just standing there looking at the prices and decide which one i can afford with the money i have.
I had a dream where i observe people eating and the woman is busy cooking right inside the resuturant
I dreamed of being have slept in a restaurant and waking up early in the morning people having breakfast.
I had a dream that i and my children was going to a restaurant with my grandchild, on our way I asked my grandchild to give a new phone I bought to my second son to assemble it. My son came to me and did it at my present, then we got to the restaurant and as we sat down to start ordering then I woke up.
My dream:I was at the fast food restaurant and I wanted to order chips as take away but the person who was meant to assist me kept on delaying until her girlfriend came in with some attitude towards me but still she wasn’t helping me till the guy came behind the counter and asked me which typa chips flavour I wanted then I woke up
At a restaurant the person has a nice juicy big burger and says they like a burger with all the bells and whistles basically. I said I like eggs and then seen two eggs over easy. I looked back at the person I was with and they were taking a bite out of that big juicy burger and they now had a hat on. It was a big triangle shaped sandwich hat.
The restaurant reminded me of the Perkins restaurant. It was day time and probably around lunch time. There were many people there but we were the main characters.
My company gave me tickets for meals and in the middle one figure is missing , and that missing figure seen to 29 I was try to input it . But the bottom was not press before my friend told me that the same thing happen to him that when he want to press (y) it was not pressing then he press (v) and use it to buy , then the woman who was selling the food said bring the ticket let me take it the admin so they can correct it few minutes she came and said when she whent the admin put the missing number immediately without delay. And she say that will make me to buy food easley tomorrow. That is how I wake up.
I dreamt that I went to a very fancy restaurant with the guy I have feelings for, and suddenly he got up and put on his glasses and apron and was the waiter. I was sitting at a round table with a bunch of strangers and he put many menus in the table. I was going through them and the writing was unintelligible. He asked what I’m looking for, if I need any help. I was em and said the lunch or dinner menu. He pulled it out from the bottom of the stack.
I keep on having dreams whereby I’m in this mall that I made up in my head. And I’m always so indecisive about which restaurant I want to go and eat in. I feel really anxious during these dreams.
What could be the meaning?
I dreamt I recently got hired as a waiter in a beautiful Indian restaurant. Pretty baffled as I haven’t even eaten or thought about Indian food in a whole…
In the dream business was very slow and I was specifically having trouble filling out my time sheet and worrying that I wouldn’t get paid for the right amount of hours…
