　　To dream of being asked for food. Relatives interpret this as follows: If one dreams of a deceased person asking for food, one should offer sacrifices and prayers to them for good fortune. To dream of one's ruler asking for food signifies a reduction in salary and rank; to dream of being given food is auspicious. To dream of one's subject asking for food signifies a request for titles and rewards; to dream of being offered food signifies a contribution. To dream of one's parents asking for food signifies that the parents will be angry with one in the future. To dream of one's children asking for food is an ominous sign, except for young children.

In dreams of being asked for food, one should consider what the dreamer is asking for. If the dreamer asks for grains, the harvest will be poor; if they ask for wine and food, one should cultivate a pure heart and few desires; if they ask for fruit, it will bring misfortune to one's descendants; if they ask for meat, one should observe a vegetarian diet and worship Buddha. Furthermore, sharing food with the deceased is very unlucky; sharing with the living, while not necessarily bringing disaster, will still cause resentment. If someone shares food with me, I must carefully consider what kind of food it is; it may bring either blessing or misfortune. One should interpret this carefully. Dream Interpretation
