I was at my grandmothers old house, and there was people there for a party. I was in the kitchen making food and served a plate to someone that I didn’t know. I walked away to do something and came back a few hours later and the food was still there but it was completely rotten
Dreams about food often symbolize nourishment, both physically and emotionally. In your dream, being at your grandmother's old house suggests a connection to your past, perhaps representing comfort, family ties, or nostalgia. The kitchen, a common setting for preparation and care, indicates a desire to nurture or provide for others.
Serving food to a stranger could point to a part of yourself that seeks connection or the need to care for those around you, even if you don't know them well. This could reflect feelings of generosity or a desire to be accepted in social circles.
The food's transformation into something rotten upon your return highlights themes of neglect, decay, or disappointment. It may suggest feelings about efforts going unrecognized or unappreciated. Alternatively, this could signify anxiety about how your contributions or relationships might not be valued or sustained, or it may reflect worries about the consequences of not taking care of personal or emotional matters.
Overall, this dream might be prompting you to reflect on your feelings around nurturing others, the passage of time in relationships, and whether your efforts are being reciprocated or acknowledged. It could also represent a call to address any neglected aspects of your life or relationships before they deteriorate further.
