This article examines the published work related to dreams of food and eating. The history and theory of food dreams, how food dreams are affected by culture, and the incidence of food dreams in special populations such as concentration camp survivors, anorexics, and the blind are reviewed. Food dreams at times may have a straightforward relationship to the dreamer’s waking life and in other instances may provide material that helps elucidate unconscious concerns related to sexual and dependency issues.
