Whilst my back is turned for a moment one of the other guests on the table (who is female but whom I do not know) removed my plate and substitutes it with a plate of food which doesn’t contain chicken. When I challenge this, I am told that there is no more. At this I rather petulantly decide to leave the wedding’ (Brian Y).

1- A plate can be simple or ornate. In dreams the interpretation will depend on this fact.
A simple plate will indicate a need for simplicity within our lives, whereas a more ornate one may suggest the need for celebration.
If we are holding the plate, we are aware of what we have received from other people.
If someone else is giving us the plate they are offering us something which belongs to them, but which we can now share.
2- The plate as a container is an important image.
If it is more bowl-shaped, it will represent what belongs to the feminine; if flat it will suggest some kind of group ownership.
An empty plate signifies one’s self-involved needs and appetites, whereas a communal plate highlights what there is to share.
The pattern and colour of the plate may be important (see Pattern in Shapes and Colour).
