Artemidorus · Oneirocritica

Drawn down, it warns of Bread stale, burnt, or bitter warns of want approaching, or of quarrels at the family table, sustenance present but no longer shared.

Jungian · the collective unconscious

Drawn up, it speaks of Bread is the daily self, the plain sustaining thing, grain gone through fire and become enough. To eat it in a dream, or break it with another, is the psyche fed by ordinary life, no feast needed.

Drawn down, it warns of Stale or moldy bread is nourishment neglected until it turned, the simple needs, sleep, food, company, skipped so long they've gone strange. Hoarded bread is love kept to yourself past its keeping.
