Oven – An oven is a dream symbol for preparation and transformative change. We talk about things from unborn babies to pet projects as being “in the oven,” reflecting this deep subconscious symbol. Dreaming about putting something in the oven represents laying the groundwork for a new project, or setting events in motion that will soon manifest their results. Dreaming about something being in an oven represents that something is ripening and coming to fruition. At the present moment, it may seem that this thing or project is not producing results or likely to benefit you, but once the time is ripe (that is, once it has finished cooking, as it were), you will see the results, and they are going to surprise you in a very good way.
