Western/Modern

Dreaming of having dinner alone represents your independence or you may be feeling lonely and need to develop some social skills. If you are having dinner with your family or with other people it means you have a good social life. Conversely not having dinner would mean you are starving yourself from experiencing life and making yourself happy whether it be nourishing yourself mentally, emotionally or spiritually.

Hindu

Eating dinner symbolizes a future where food and sustenance may be hard to come by. Your enemies will try to impugn your reputation, and you must be careful when choosing friends.

Jungian

Like Banquet, you are exploring nourishment in a social setting, sometimes associated with family dynamics. Its connection to 'the later part of the day' can bring the idea of nourishment/fulfillment in the later stages of life. Dining can suggest finding nourishment hidden in darkness or the unknown, as 'issues you may need to sleep on,' and is different from the nourishment of Breakfast that sustains and motivates you for the day. See Food.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, hospitality means getting together for a charitable cause or to perform good deeds. If one invites people for a dinner and they eat to full satisfaction in the dream, it means that he will preside over them. Preparing a guest room in one’s house in a dream means the arrival of a long awaited traveller.
