Meaning and Symbolism
Unfortunately, we must say right in the beginning that the dream about the honey can, in certain versions, symbolizes a loss.
If you are making the honey, putting it into the bowls, etc., it can suggest a small loss, but if you eat it, it can be the symbol of business success.
In a version of a dream where you smear honey on your face and then eat it, it can be a bad sign, meaning that you are surrounded by bad people.
If in a version of a dream about the honey, you see honey, but the small amount and it is dripping on something can be the symbol of a small loss; the dream interpretation shows that it is possible that you will invest money in a business that you will evaluate as promising, but you will soon realize that there is no great benefit from it. You will try to get out as soon as possible and get back what you can get back.
The hardships of losing will be the complaints of close people who will remind you that they warned you about this.
A version of the dream about the honey revolves around the person who has given you the honey, and such a dream suggests that you are able to make your own dreams come true.
But not only that, such a dream shows that you are quite able to make others happy, helping them to achieve their own ambitions.
If you are the one who is giving someone else honey, in that case, the dream shows that it is quite possible that you will sacrifice for others. It shows your altruistic and loving nature and ability to sacrifice when it is necessary.
One interesting thing is that such dreams often appear in the lives of the people who are parents, particularly in the case of those parents who gave up personal pleasures because of the benefit of their children.
Maybe because of a better-paid job, you will change your place of residence, or you will accept a job that does not suit you but brings more income and helps your family. This dream shows a sacrifice that you are more than willing to take since it will bring so much good into the lives of your family.
To have a dream in which someone is licking honey from your fingers or hands or some other part of the body, such a dream indicates that you are not completely honest with your emotional partner. You may not be able to surrender completely to him/her because you are disappointed in love because of some bad experiences from the past.
Do not think that your lover doesn’t notice it. He or she cares about you and wants to give you a chance. So why do not you use it?
Decoding Dream about Honey
To dream of eating honey symbolizes success at work, in the majority of its version.
Such a dream shows that you are the individual who, when motivated, does not find it difficult to stay overtime, to sacrifice a social life, and to dedicate himself completely to work.
It is about dedication and that you value honesty with your superiors and as soon as you recognize it.
Such a dream can even suggest that the person who dreams can easily see himself spending working life in the company in question and giving his best to it.
If in a dream you are spreading honey on a piece of bread and eat it, it implies that you are surrounded by bad people; that does not want you any good, but you are not able to see it. You are probably the initiator of all gatherings in society, and as soon as you see that one of your friends is in a bad mood, you do your best to bring a smile to his face.
However, when that is the case with you, rarely does anyone remember to ask you what is wrong with you, let alone help you.
This dream has one addition – if you eat the piece of bread with the honey on it, in that case, such a dream shows that you are surrounded by bad people and that you are aware of the negative impact they have on you, but you are ignoring all the signs that are coming up.
When in a version of a dream someone else is enjoying eating honey, such a dream is a manifestation of envy for someone’s professional success.
Probably one of your acquaintances, when no one had high hopes, will prove that he can achieve a lot. Instead of him, that is.
It serves as an example that it is possible to achieve everything you want. It will be easier for you to envy that person.
In a version of a dream where you are buying honey, such a dream symbolizes that you will be able to overcome financial problems with the help of family members.
It is possible that you have run out of sources of income and are now facing difficulties. You worry about going through a difficult period until everything returns to normal.
However, your loved ones will help you overcome this by reducing unnecessary expenses and saving until living conditions improve.
Selling honey in a dream is a sign that you need to work harder on yourself in order to be more successful. You believe that you have reached your maximum, but that is not true.
If you upgrade your knowledge and skills and become more efficient over time, your efforts will be valued more, and thus you will have much more self-confidence.
And this dream is often associated with emotional life – for example, taking honey from someone’s hands in a dream shows that you are probably in a relationship with a person who is still carrying some “emotional baggage” and that you have a problem in dealing with it.
