Even though rice is not mentioned grains are, and they signify being abundant in life. The grains mentioned in the bible include wheat and barley and this is about miracles of feeding many societies. While there is much written about the grains there is nothing about rice. Rice is however powerful in both Buddhism and Hinduism and is connected to various ceremonies to their gods. 

Biblical Meaning Of Rice In Dreams

When I was a young girl I use to go to church and often the priest use to speak about miracles. Even though rice is not mentioned grains are, and they signify being abundant in life. The grains mentioned in the bible include wheat and barley and this is about miracles of feeding many societies, so I believe that this dream biblically is about miracles. It all very much depends on your limitations in life, and of course HOW the rice was displayed in the dream. While there is much written about the grains there is nothing about rice. Rice is however powerful in both Buddhism and Hinduism and is connected to various ceremonies to their gods. 

I’m going to run through the biblical meaning of rice in your dream. You know the saying “taking this as a grain of salt” meaning it is not really that important. Now, dreams in ancient times were used as future meanings in life, and people looked for clues and messages in their dreams to guide their lives. In exploring the biblical meaning of rice in a dream and its connection to scripture, It suggests to me, that you have been taking things with a grain of salt. 

Some typical dreams and possible meanings:

  • Eating white rice: Comfort and suggestions on how to navigate life may be needed.
  • Cooking white rice: To cook rice on a stove means you need to be prepared for a brand new challenge.
  • White rice in dreams usually represents: Biblical fertility and abundance
  • Eating rice in a dream: is a biblical sign of prosperity for you.
  • Buying rice in a dream: You might find yourself eating rice because you need emotional energy.
  • Dropping rice: You are ready for a brand new project/challenge.
  • Serving rice: You will find someone who needs your help - you will take care of others.
  • Serving others white rice: You are a nurturer!
  • Seeing white rice in a bowl: You are satisfied with your life.
  • Spilling white rice: You might have setbacks or obstacles.
  • Cooked rice: Success and stability. See Luke 12.3
  • Brown rice: Want a healthier lifestyle? See Acts 4:3
  • Wild rice: Potential for growth and untapped potential.
  • Steamed rice: You would need comfort and emotional sustenance
  • Spilled rice: Well, this may represent arguments in your life.

But I do think that rice's presence in your dreams could have some significance because of scripture and traditional wisdom,"  "Now I just feel," you might add, "that rice carries a deeper spiritual message when present in a dream." It's true that in many cultures, rice also symbolizes prosperity and good fortune. Such a dream could be taken as a signal from your spirit team to be thankful for the blessings in our lives. "Is that enough? Does this dream interpretation touch upon the essence of my experience?"

What does white rice mean in a dream?

Right, to explain this I am going to get you to picture something. Image white rice is considered a symbol - such as a house, if you want to build a house then it is expensive. It will take a lot of effort. In the end, you will have a house. You may even lose money. And, you may not even make a profit. You may sell that house straight away or wait. The reason I mention this is because if you build something and expect it to be worth something then that will cost you something, it's been standing a long time - and worth its value.  White rice in a dream might represent God's promise to you. In Philippians 4: 19 (ESV) it states

"And my God will provide for your every need in accordance with his riches in glory in Christ Jesus." What does that mean? In fact, it means that riches are coming but you need to “build” something in life.

Your body needs physical food, spiritual food is needed for the soul. This could be fruit or even rice. A dream of white rice might also indicate spiritual growth. If you see John 6: 35 (NIV) for guidance: Jesus said,' I am bread of life. And whoever comes to me will never be hungry, nor thirsty' That is why I feel that dreams involving white rice are about inner abundance and spiritual nourishment. 

What is the biblical meaning of uncooked rice in a dream?

I recently burned my rice on my stove. This dream about raw rice is always about being an expert in life. Well, this is about how to be authentic in life. When you are building a house (as per my introduction), you add a floor, windows, etc then you have to build something in life. If you are cooking with raw uncooked rice then this is about how things work in life. It could mean incredible insight into life. There may be evidence in life that you are about to embark on something new. Like a new phase in life. 

What is the biblical meaning of cooked rice in a dream?

Tonight I cooked a curry, of course, I had my rice on the stove. If the water is boiling and you are cooking rice biblically, this could me something coming to light. This could be something that you don’t know right now. I believe that white cooked rice seen in a dream (especially if piping hot) shows a sort of togetherness energy. There is someone who has shown their True Colors if the rice was served to you. I also believe that cooked rice means that you are incredibly popular, kind, and a beautiful soul. 

What does cooking rice mean in a dream?

In the passage Luke 11:13 it says that Jesus teaching his disciples had said the following "...We find an emphasis there on the Holy Spirit as a soul-winning power which we do not hear very much these days." The reason I mention this is that the Holy Spirit is about waiting for a miracle. Like rice, this is about power, the fight, the power of the Holy Spirit. In the bible the Greek word Glossa is translated to "tongue" and we eat the rice with the tongue. Certainly, we can take from this point in the bible that no one has the right to hide their power (or tongue) and that is what I feel is the meaning of actually cooking rice in a dream. I believe that the above scripture it is about making sure you have the power to speak --- and say what you need to say.

Summary

As I am writing this dream meaning the possible meanings of rice in dreams from a biblical perspective means that consistency is important and not to worry to much about stuff. I have researched this quite a bit --- and the  Bible doesn't specifically mention rice as a crop, but themes of harvest, abundance, and thankfulness resonate through its pages. The significance of rice in your dream can relate to the sower in Matthew 13, Luke 8, and Mark 4. Therefore, it could mean that you will see a major shit spiritually after this dream.
