Dream Dictionary
 
 Definition: Dreaming that you are Seeing or eating dinner alone indicates that you will need to do some serious thinking about your goals and direction in life. Alternatively, it may represent independence or lack of social skills. Dreaming that you are Seeing or eating dinner with others means your acceptance or others, your interpersonal relationships, and how you behave in your social life. It is a time to reflect and share past experiences. It also suggests that you see everyone as an equal.
