What Does It Mean to Dream About Bagels?

To dream of a bagel represents feelings of simplicity, comfort, and ease of being completely listened to as a person which makes a situation easy to get through while liking what's happening. The simplicity of good listening which brings you satisfaction, contentment, or fulfillment that helps you get through a difficult situation. Simplicity or comfort felt in your social interactions.

Consider the ingredients on the bagel for additional meaning.

Example: A woman dreamed of seeing a woman with a half-eaten bagel who said to her "I think there is something in this that I'm allergic to." In waking life, she had met a man that she liked at first, but then stopped liking him because he was too needy. In this case, the half-eaten bagel that causes allergies may have reflected her feelings about the man initially making her feel that it was simple to be completely listened to as a person while trying to enjoy starting the relationship with him, but then finding his neediness unappealing and incompatible with her own personality.

Example 2: A person dreamed of people throwing bagels at them for no reason followed by cars and buses that tried to kill them. They had no clue why they were being hated by people. In waking life, they were currently experiencing strange social dynamics in their personal life when that was unusual. In this case, bagels being thrown at the dreamer may have reflected their feelings about the simplicity, comfort, and good listening they initially felt in their social interactions, which had turned sour or hostile for reasons they couldn't understand.

Example 3: A teenage girl dreamed of the bacon, egg, and cheese on her bagel getting cold after she put it down to talk to her boyfriend. In waking life, she wanted to break up with her boyfriend quickly over the phone but decided to talk to him for 3 hours after he began to get upset. In this case, the bagel allowed to become cold may have reflected her feelings about sacrificing the comfort and simplicity of being personally listened to by her boyfriend about wanting to break up the relationship in order to enjoy moving on with her life to her boyfriend's desperate pleas to stay together instead.
