Dreaming about coffee: what it might mean

Dreaming about coffee is a far more common experience than you might think: sooner or later, it happens to most of us. But what could it mean?

Generally, it is a good sign: when the beverage appears in a dream, it is usually a sign that something positive will happen in your professional or intellectual sphere, such as achieving success at work or passing an examination. Nevertheless, how the dream should be interpreted can change based on a wide range of details.

Dreaming of drinking coffee with other people: what it means

Dreaming of drinking a coffee with friends is the expression of a desire for social contact, togetherness and the will to feel that you are appreciated.

Did you dream about drinking an espresso at the bar? Then you may be harbouring the desire to experience new, more fulfilling social relationships.

If in your dream you were drinking a cup of coffee in the office with your colleagues this means that you yearn to be appreciated more in your professional life.

What does dreaming about making coffee mean?

In your dream, were you at home making coffee with a moka pot or an espresso machine? If so, it means that you believe in yourself and that you’re currently happy in your own skin.

If you dreamed about making an espresso for a guest, it might be a sign of your desire to develop a more intimate relation with that person.

On the other hand, be careful if you’ve dreamed that you were drinking a coffee alone, or drinking lots of coffees: you may be sensing the need to “wake up to yourself”, a desire for new challenges or it could even just be a sign that you need to take better care of yourself.

Dreaming about ground coffee or coffee beans: interpretation

What does dreaming about ground coffee or coffee beans mean? It looks like you may be impatient to start a new project you truly care about: this is a good sign, it means that you’re ready and raring to go.

The same goes for dreams about ground coffee. Here the same interpretation applies.

Did you dream about drinking a bad coffee?

The meaning of your dream changes drastically if you were drinking a bitter or salty coffee in your dream: this means that you are feeling weighed down by a complicated, difficult phase of your life.

Instead, dreaming about drinking burnt coffee symbolises the awareness that you have broken or damaged something important, perhaps due to thoughtlessness.

Spilling coffee can be interpreted as the need to take things slowly, perhaps because you regret doing something too hastily.
