Dreams involving broken objects, especially ones that hold sentimental value, often reflect feelings of loss, vulnerability, or anxiety about relationships and memories. In your dream, repairing the plates with ceramic glue symbolizes your efforts to mend or hold onto important aspects of your life, particularly connections to loved ones who may no longer be present.

The act of having dinner on the plates suggests that you are trying to engage with these memories or the feelings associated with the person who gifted you the plates. However, when the glue fails and the plates fall apart, it indicates a fear of losing those memories or connections, or perhaps a sense of helplessness in preventing loss.

Crying in your dream points to the deep emotional impact this situation has on you, revealing your grief or unresolved feelings towards this person or the gift itself. This dream may be urging you to acknowledge and process these emotions, reminding you that it’s okay to feel sadness over what has been lost.

To gain further clarity, consider reflecting on your current feelings regarding relationships, memories, and any recent changes or losses in your life. It might be beneficial to find ways to honor and remember the person associated with the gift, perhaps by creating new traditions or memorials that celebrate their life and your connection.
