What does dreaming about bread mean in the Bible?

Daily provision — and the Bread of Life Himself

Bread is the Bible's shorthand for what sustains: God taught Israel to pray for it daily, and Jesus called Himself the bread of life. Yet man does not live on bread alone. A bread dream may touch practical needs — or a deeper hunger that only His word and presence feed. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, bread is filed under objects — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: John 6:35, Matthew 6:11, Matthew 4:4. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to bread, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
