What Does Dreaming of a Cooking Pot Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In the tradition of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, the cooking pot represents the household's livelihood, its provision, and the woman — or the head of the household — who holds the family together; a full, boiling pot can point to plenty, blessing, and receiving the reward of one's labor, while an empty or broken pot can point to hardship in one's livelihood or a disruption in the order of the family.
Psychological View
From a modern psychological perspective, the cooking pot can be a symbol of emotions gathering within, of wishes patiently brought to ripeness, and of the process of 'simmering and cooking'; seeing one in a dream can indicate that something is not yet ready but will take shape with time, or that feelings suppressed inside are close to boiling over.

An Empty or Broken Pot
According to Ibn Sirin, this can point to a passing tightness in one's livelihood, to something lacking in the household, or to a venture one has labored over failing to yield the expected result.
