What Does Dreaming of Salt Mean?
Traditional Interpretation
In the tradition of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, salt can point to blessing, livelihood, and the preservation of provision, and to friendships and agreements being made firm. Salt in right measure can point to goodness and lawful earnings; overly salty or spoiled salt can point to hardship in one's livelihood or to a wounded heart.
Psychological View
In modern psychology, salt may symbolize the search for the 'flavor' of life, the need to preserve and keep, and the desire to protect what is precious from spoiling. This dream can point to the dreamer's effort to preserve the essence of their relationships and their labor, to a wish for tears and pent-up emotions to be released, and to a striving to restore inner balance.
