Plate

Just as you can 'have a lot on your plate,' the plate can symbolize where your attention is currently focused. Whatever is 'being served' can portray how you are currently finding nourishment and how 'it serves you.' See Food.

In a dream, a plate represents one’s beloved, or it could mean going through hard times, or it could represent locusts or money. A plate in a woman’s dream represents the best man in her circles. If a man sees a plate in his dream, it represents the most respected woman in his circles. If one sees a covered plate being taken out of the room of a sick person, the contents represent the cause of his illness.
