What is the spiritual meaning of yam? What is the meaning of seeing you in your dream? What does it mean to see two tubers of yam in a dream? The spiritual meaning of yam is related to the Bible and Christianity. In the Bible, yams are used as a symbol for the promise of God’s love. In the book of Hosea, God says that “the more his love increased, the more they rebelled against me; I will abandon them to their fate because they have rebelled against me and sworn an oath to sacrifice to Molech.” But then he says, “But now he will remember the covenant with Jacob and bring it back from Bashan.”
In the spiritual sense, yam is a symbol of life and death. The yam plant grows from the earth and is nourished by it, but it also dies back in winter. This cycle represents the cycle of life and death that all people experience.
So the yam represents that promise—the promise that even when we feel like we have been abandoned by God, He will come back to us and provide us with everything we need.

What does yam mean to you?
Yams are one of the most common foods eaten in Africa. They’re also known for their spiritual and cultural significance. In fact, many Africans believe that yams have a spirit or soul—they even have names for each variety of yam, which they call “petals.”
Some people say that yams are a symbol of fertility and rebirth because they grow from underground stalks called rhizomes. Others say that yams represent the new dawn or new beginnings, since they are often planted around the time of the harvest festival known as Kwanzaa (which comes from Swahili and means “first fruits”).

Cutting Yam In The Dream
As with any dream, much of the interpretation relies on the context of the dream rather than the item itself. But when you dream of yam, there are some overall aspects of the interpretation that can be given, and so we will look at those below.
When you have a dream that you would like interpreted, it is good to write it down. Perhaps keep a dream journal or a notebook beside your bed. This will help you remember the context around the yams in your dream as well as the yams themselves.
For example, it can be something quite different if someone gives you yams in your dreams as a gift, as this could mean you’re being blessed with healing from some ailment you’re presently experiencing. If you’re not experiencing ill health at the moment, the gift of a yam could signify a financial improvement is heading your way. See how context is everything?
In this post, we’ll look at some of the more ‘overall’ aspects of dreaming of yams to help give you some ideas about what the spiritual meaning of yam in your dream is, but as always, it’s going to need you to fill in the blanks and interpret the dream based on your own circumstances and desires.
What Is The Meaning of Seeing Yam In Your Dream
Yams have a number of health benefits and the physical yam has been used as a medicinal vegetable in Asia, Africa and the Caribbean[1]. They contain a good source of various vitamins and minerals. So it’s not difficult to see that they would also spiritually represent good health.
If you’ve been struggling with a health-related problem recently and are given yams in your dream, then this could signify a breakthrough is coming that will help improve your health. If someone else was given yams in your dream, then they may expect a similar outcome.
If you are giving yams to someone who is poorly, this can be interpreted as you providing some assistance to that person to help them overcome their health issues.
Dreaming Of Yams Can Mean Prosperity
Because yams are a good staple in our diet, and provide many needed nutrients, they can also be interpreted as symbolizing prosperity. As with any dream, the interpretation depends on individual circumstances and this can only be a generalised guide.
If you dreamed of being given yams and the context around the dream is more financial in nature (as opposed to health that we spoke about above), then you can expect some financial gift or other improvements in your financial situation shortly. This might mean more hours are offered to a part-time worker, for example, a pay raise, or literally just a financial gift from someone.
If you dreamed of giving away the yams, then it’s possible you may receive an unexpected bill shortly or you may be making a financial gift to someone else. When trying to interpret this, look at how you felt when giving away the yams. If you felt good, then it is likely it will be a financial gift to someone else soon. If you feel bad, then it may be an unexpected bill warning. You would be wise to start saving some money each month if you can in order to afford this bill when it comes.
Dreams About Yam Can Mean Marriage or Pregnancy
This interpretation has a greater cultural association than the previous two and may not be as relevant for western cultures as it might be for some other nationalities. However, in some cultures, such as Nigeria, yam is considered an important gift to the bride’s family when a couple get engaged to be married and the family approve.
For cultures where yams are given as gifts on these auspicious occasions, this can mean that a marriage is in the offing. If you’re given yams in your dream and are trying to conceive, then this could symbolise that a pregnancy is not far away.
Dreams of Eating Yam
In the previous sections, we’ve talked about being given or giving yam to someone. This could, of course, be the whole root vegetable given in a basket, or it could be mashed on a plate and eaten as a meal. The meaning remains largely the same. Dreams of eating yam could mean an improvement in a health ailment that’s recently been troubling you, or they could mean you’re going to receive a financial boost.
If you’re dreaming of eating yam with a significant other, then it could symbolize a coming marriage or pregnancy.
If you’re dreaming of eating yam with a larger group of people, it could symbolize a successful business venture.
Roasted Yam In The Dream
It means a life of suffering, hardship and lack. When you begin to eat roasted yams in your dream, you will have problems making progress the way you wanted. If a person finds out that she lost money in mysterious ways, it means such a person is eaten by low-level people in the dream. Sometimes it brings down a man and is a sign that there is bewitchment in place.
Dreams About yam porridge
A dream in which you cooked the porridge portends trouble, everyday problems and quarrels with family members. If you eat porridge in adream, this is a good symbol, indicating that soon your loved one will present you with a nice gift or your dreams will come true
Dreams about selling yam
Perhaps you see at the market either pricing or selling yams, then you have serious prayers to undergo. It means the enemy has limited you to one spot. As a woman, if care is not taken, this dream could allow divorce or separation between you and your man.
Dreams about head of yam been cut off
To see you in your dream signifies happiness and family visitation. Tubers of yam symbolize fruitfulness and productivity. If you dream that the head of the yam is cut away, then it means an attack on your head. But if you are from a family nursing a serious attack, then it means an attack on an important person in the family.
Dream About Cutting Yams
As with all dreams, the context of the cutting in this dream is important. If you’re cutting the yams to cook them and prepare a meal then it signifies that the hard work you’re enduring presently will bear good fortune in the end. Your hard work now will culminate in good fortune for your family and possibly friends too.
If you’re not cutting the yams in preparation for a meal, this can instead signify that you’re feeling overworked and underappreciated. With the overall tone of yams representing spiritual and physical health, it would be wise to consider slowing down a bit in your physical life. Protecting your health and wellbeing is important. If you have people around in your dream, then these may be the people you need to lean into a bit in order to help you slow down and look after yourself.
What does it mean to see two tubers of yam in the dream
Yams are a root vegetable that is eaten in many parts of the world. In Nigeria, yams are very important in the culture and have spiritual meanings attached to them. In the Yoruba language, yams are called “olubarri.” The word “olubarri” can be translated as meaning “the food of kings.” Yams were considered sacred by many because they grew only under the ground and, thusly, were thought to be protected from evil spirits.
The Yoruba people also believed that yam farming was a way of gaining wealth and prosperity. When a person planted their first yam farm, it would be considered an omen that their family would continue to prosper for generations to come.
Yam is a sacred food that has been prepared by ancestors and has had many uses throughout history. It can be eaten, used in ceremonies and rituals, or even used as an offering to the gods.
Yam was often used as a substitute for bread in ancient times because it was easy to grow and store. It could be ground into flour or made into porridge or bread. Yam flour could also be used to make cakes and pastries.
Yam also holds spiritual significance as a staple crop that represents fertility and abundance. In African cultures, yam can represent life and death depending on how it is prepared.
