Cakes are often baked for celebrations, for those occasions that give us the best of life with our loved ones. But what does it mean to dream of cake?
Did you go to bed hungry, or is there something your subconscious wants you to know?
Let’s find out.
Why Am I Dreaming Of Cake?
Cakes don’t appear in our dreams often, but when they do, you should take them as a positive sign. Cake usually represents joy (see also Ice Cream Dream Meaning), and the happiness you get from being around the people you love, as well as living your life according to your values.
There are some negative interpretations when cake appears in your dreams, usually referring to not being self-disciplined enough, or overindulging in an area of your life, but these are rarer.
Cake Dream Interpretation
Picture baking a cake. Usually, when we make a cake from scratch, it is not just for ourselves, we make it for the people we love to enjoy as well.
This lines up with the dream interpretation of a cake, which focuses on compassion, kindness, and the joy that other people give us.
It’s common to dream of a cake when you’re thinking about the people in your life, and how glad you are to have them with you.
If you dream of eating a cake, this points to enjoyment, indulgence, and making the most out of other people’s company. It denotes the massive amount of love you have to give.
However, if you have a nightmare of eating cake – where the cake tasted like sand, or it was full of worms, or something else unpleasant, this denotes problems in your relationships.
You may be trying to have too much of a good thing, or someone in your life isn’t who you think they are. It could also be that someone is taking advantage of your kindness or love for them, and you get nothing in return.
If you dream of a cake that has been made to celebrate something, such as a birthday cake or a wedding cake, this denotes a special event coming up in waking life.
To see a birthday cake in your dream (see also Birthday Dream Meaning) signifies the lasting relationships that you have, which will stay with you forever. Wedding cakes imply a new life stage, prosperity, and a whole new outlook.
But like all dream symbols, there are some negative connotations, too. If you encounter a birthday cake somewhere it shouldn’t be, such as a funeral in your dream, this foretells chaos and upheaval.
It may denote arguments with the ones you love the most, or responsibilities getting in the way of time with your loved ones.
Seeing a rotten wedding cake may suggest a fear of commitment, or that you feel you cannot trust your partner. It may also denote despair when it comes to relationships in general, especially if you’ve been hurt by someone recently.
If you dream of craving cake – and perhaps seeing a cake in your dream, but it remains out of your reach, this can suggest that there is an imbalance somewhere in your relationships.
It may be that you want to be with someone badly, but they don’t seem that into your relationship, or you give people a lot of love, and you feel it is not returned in the same way.
A dream like this may also happen when you think someone’s words don’t match up to their actions, or perhaps you have some differences that you cannot reconcile.
Positive Changes Are Coming, If:
- You see a cake that matches the dream event: a wedding cake at a wedding, a birthday cake at a birthday party
- You enjoyed some cake in your dream
- You made a cake for someone and they liked it
Final Thoughts
Cakes in dreams refer to the love you feel for others, and the affection you get in return. It may refer to healthy relationships, or bring your attention to an imbalance in one of your connections with someone.
It may also denote what you expect of other people in your relationships with them. Perhaps they aren’t giving you the same level of care and attention you give them.
