Dreaming of olive oil may be a strange phenomenon for you, since it is such a mundane ingredient that is used in regular life.
But since it is a cooking ingredient, it brings a lot of meaning and interpretation about creation, concoction, and even imagination.
This can actually be an interesting dream, so take note of what is happening also in your waking life in order that you may interpret it more accurately.
What does a dream about olive oil represent?
A dream about olive oil can mean a lot of different things. Here are some of them.
Symbolic of hunger
Since this is a cooking ingredient, this may symbolize a hunger of some sort. It doesn’t have to point to a literal experience of hunger – it may be that you are hungering for something in your soul that you are finding hard to fulfill or find in your waking life.
It may be that you are looking for something in your career, in your family life, or in your other waking relationships.
Symbolic of a missing ingredient
Maybe you feel that there is a missing piece in your life – may be something that you feel would make everything fall into place and make you unconditionally happy. Keep looking for that special ingredient – because when you find it, it will definitely be worth the search.
Symbolic of feeling full
Maybe you are already satisfied with whatever is in your life. If this is the case, continue being thankful so that the blessings could continue pouring themselves into your experience. This is the best place to be – your only work is to recognize the good place you are in right now.
Symbolic of luck
Dreaming of olive oil can also be symbolic of luck. You may be showered with something coincidental yet very lucky that will grace your experience very soon.
Be positively expectant of this so that you may more easily be able to perceive it and recognize it when it comes.
Symbolic of a delicious experience
There may be an experience that will be coming in your life that you will thoroughly enjoy. This may be an adventure with friends, a meal out with a loved one, or some rendezvous with a person that will leave you feeling good. Make sure you revel in it for all its worth.
Symbolic of completion
There are times that dreaming of olive oil could mean achieving a certain sense of completion. It could be that you are at a place in your life right now where you feel that you are at the peak of the fruition of your plans, dreams, goals, and pursuits. This may be high time to enjoy and anticipate the delicious end to your journey.
Symbolic of grace
Olive oil, when used, makes everything mix together well. This is symbolic of a certain kind of grace that you may have or may be needing in your life right now.
Do you feel resistant to some elements? Do you feel as if you are in a place where there is dissatisfaction or discontentment? If so, do what you can to soothe this feeling, even if it may be small attempts at relief.
A small amount of comfort can go a very long way in terms of raising your vibration and letting you get to the place you really want to be.
Symbolic of commitment
This dream may mean that you are in a place where a lot of commitment is needed from you. Make sure you are fulfilling your end of the bargain, and are at peace with what you are able to offer.
This will also make it fair for the other parties involved, if you are honest and fair to them regarding what you are able to give.
Symbolic of peace
The olive oil dream could also mean that you are seeking peace in your life. Are you having a hard time finding it? Check if you are looking for it in all the wrong places.
Oftentimes, peace and contentment can only be found within yourself, in a place where you are not dependent on other people or situations outside yourself to be a certain way in order for you to be happy.
This may be a reminder to get to that peaceful, grounded place inside yourself that never wavers, no matter what is happening in the outside world, or no matter what other people are doing. This is the best way to live and be happy, really.
Common Situations in which you dream of olive oil
Dream of cooking with olive oil
This dream means that you have everything that you need in your life in order to get to where you want to be.
There is no need to look at other people and what they have that you don’t. Just make use of the tools that are given you and maximize them in the best way you can.
Dream of spilling olive oil
This dream may symbolize that you are not in focus with what you are doing. Maybe you aren’t looking or being present in the task at hand, and are committing random mistakes.
Be sure you are trying to focus whenever there is important work, as this is the quickest and most fulfilling way to also finish what you need to do, and feel a sense of fulfillment afterward.
Dream of putting olive oil on your body
This dream may mean that you are searching for comfort in your life. Are you going through something emotionally challenging, or physically or mentally taxing?
Maybe you have to also take a rest and take a breather before you keep pursuing the things that need to be done daily.
It is also important that you take proper rest periods so that you can recuperate and be of strong mind and body when you have to do important things, and fulfill your responsibilities.
Dream of being given olive oil
If in your dream, you were given olive oil as a gift, this may mean that you are being given the gift of grace and ease.
Make sure you are positively expectant of these elements in your life, so that you may easily spot them when they come. Chances are, they are already there – you just have to open your eyes so that you may be able to see better.
Dream of giving someone else olive oil
This dream may mean that you are going to be of assistance to someone soon – and this person will greatly appreciate what you are going to do for them.
This is also a great thing to anticipate – so just continue being generous with your time and resources, so that other people will know that they can approach you if you need help.
Dream of breaking a bottle of olive oil
This dream may symbolize bad luck. Don’t worry so much as you are now warned of its possibility, so you don’t have to necessarily attract it.
Raise your vibrations and keep attracting positive energy, so that this may be what will come into your experience.
Dream of harvesting olive oil
This dream may have a spiritual connotation. It may be reminding you to get in touch with your spiritual side and not to overlook the important matters of emotion and consciousness. Being more grounded in these aspects will help you have a more harmonious life with other people as well.
Dream of burning olive oil
This dream may be an omen for a birth that will happen in your experience soon. It doesn’t have to be a literal birth of a human being, or a pregnancy that will take fruit, though it can be. It can also be about a new career, a big move, or the start of a new important relationship.
Dream of giving olive oil to someone you love
This dream may mean that you are concerned about your loved one, and that you want to give them everything that you have so that they may be empowered and uplifted in their experience.
Try to check who this person is – is it a romantic partner, a family member, a relative, or a very close friend? These can all signify what you feel about this particular person, and maybe that you really want to give them something in order to help them in their life.
It is also possible that this person is in need and is not registering the need to you for fear of humiliation, or because he/she is simply too shy or timid to ask.
Conclusion
Dreams about olive oil span interpretations from connection, to spirituality, to generosity, to relationships. Try to remember the most that you can about your dream, in order that you may interpret it more accurately when you wake up.
You can also write down the images in a dream diary so that you can interpret what consecutive dreams could mean for you and your life, as well as the people that are in the dream with you.
