If it is rectangular, it shows a hierarchical structure based on a leader, who is usually on one side or in the middle. Your position indicates where you are on the ladder. However, if the table is round, it means that all those who sit around it have the same rank. But apart from indicating your “status,” the table can also mean other things. What is on it refers to what will soon enter your life. Thus, if it is filled with delicacies, the dream predicts prosperity; if it is empty, problems at home; and finally, if no one has sat around, it suggests that you need to feel more closer to your family.

The table predicts domestic comfort and happiness in the marital relationship. [2]

A table suggests assimilation, or “coming together” of varying parts of the dreamer’s personality. It could be that you are working on becoming aware of your own multi-dimensional nature and are attempting to become a more harmonious individual.

The table usually represents nourishment, friendship, and unity. When interpreting this dream consider the primary function of the table in the dream as well as its shape and those that have gathered around it. Most people can make many associations with this piece of furniture. It could represent emotionally charged events, such as a family dinner, contractual negotiations, or pleasant/unpleasant meetings.

The emotional reactions to the situation in this dream will lead you to its interpretation. [3]

Since the primary cultural association with a table is eating meals, the symbolic nature of this object is about groups and connections, with a potential emphasis on the family. As such, a table in your dreams may be pointing to the quality of this construct within your own life.

If there is a gathering around a table in a dream, look to those gathered for clues as to the qualities and skills you need to feed and therefore nurture at this time.

The shape of the table has some significance as well.

A round table harkens back to the mythology of King Arthur, where this shape was the first representation of democracy within leadership.

A table that is broken or otherwise impaired signals an inability to gather inner strength. [4]

Material aspects: A table being a focus for meeting, whether socially or professionally, is usually recognized in dreams as a symbol of decision making. There can be an element of ritual associated with the image of a table. As a place for a family rendezvous, we may consider meals eaten around a table to be an important aspect of family life. In business and professional terms, the boardroom table can also introduce an element of ritual around it such as hierarchy of position. You might also like to consult the entries for altar, furniture / furnishings, rite / ritual and round table. [5]

If the table is expensive or of good quality, it suggests high-quality relationships with others; your place at the table refers to your selfimage and a dressing table refers to your attempts to create a good social image. Alternatively dream tables can also indicate the need for hard work and perseverance to achieve your goals. [8]

Physical, emotional, mental, or spiritual nourishment.

Interaction, conversation, or negotiation.

Postponing or setting aside a certain matter (as in “tabling” an agenda item).

Tables usually represent social functions, such as dining together at a table, though tables can also represent work if one has a desk job or a job where one crafts objects on a table, for example. Tables in dreams can draw on meanings associated with the “head of the table,” “a bare table,” “the tables are turned,” being paid “under the table,” or “on the table.” [10]
The meaning depends on the details and the action which must be correlated to get an accurate interpretation, but as a general guide: a kitchen table suggests a season of hard work ahead; a card table predicts a chance to increase your income; a dining table indicates an upturn in social activities; and a library table forecasts an improved status due to intellectual achievements. [11]
The desire for unencumbered connections to others, or a hint that whatever the connections are at present, you’d do better to accept them. Sticking together and belonging. Also refers to a noble attitude that is either to be adopted or has already been incorpo rated (Knights of the Round Table).

Depth Psychology: The table usually represents your responsibilities and obligations at work. .Are you working at the table? See Altar, Furniture. [15]
