Eggs

An egg is one of the oldest symbols appearing in human dreams. Ancient peoples believed that the universe is a huge egg created by God. Slavs saw the egg as a symbol of fertility, new life, the original space, resurrection and as an amulet to protect against evil. A dream about the egg may reflect really important events in the life of the dreamer, even the imminent birth of the child. The egg is the embryo of life for birds, reptiles and fish, so it also expresses the beginning of all things.

If you look at the egg, it is always associated it with something positive. Diverging from religious and cultural connotations, it is the delicacy of millions of people around the world and a rich source of nutrients.

Unfortunately not every dream about an egg can be seen in a positive way, especially when it is spoiled, rotten, disgusting or broken. The nightmare may herald failure, fall, disappointment and even miscarriage. Similar meaning of the dream is when someone is throwing eggs at you.

Egg dishes

• If in a dream you’re cooking a dish with eggs, this is a harbinger of a new acquaintance with someone very interesting. Whereas if scrambled eggs, omelet or salad are bad or tasteless, the dream heralds family problems.
• Omelet - the omelet was already known to the ancient Romans, but it is the French that we owe the all kinds of variations of this dish. In any case, this delicious dish is interpreted differently in a dream - for some it is the symbol of stability, following the right direction. For others it’s a warning of trouble, naivety, exploitation by relatives. Dreams, in which an omelet gives off an unpleasant smell, spell miscarriage.
• Scrambled eggs - this popular breakfast dish is a sign bringing happiness or reflecting the satisfaction of the dreamer. Making or eating scrambled eggs is associated with brilliance and ability to seize opportunities. A dream about scrambled eggs has less positive meaning, particularly when it is burnt or bad. Some people may perceive scrambled eggs as a symbol of routine and everyday life. If in your dream you’re tucking into scrambled eggs and bacon, it is a signal that you should think about a better diet.
• A fried or boiled egg illustrates the need to change jobs. The dream can come especially to those, who have ceased to develop in the present company, or have low income. The dream is an incentive to make some bold decision.
• Yolks stirred with sugar to a cream - this very sweet dessert usually symbolizes chaos, lack of patience and is a hint to work on your temperament.
