Dreaming of cooking stew generally indicates prosperity and gain in your life. If you are experiencing poverty, this dream may bring you a message of happiness. Particularly, when you cook stew with corn and other vegetables, it signifies new opportunities and the potential for improvement in your life. It symbolizes the success that comes as a result of your hard work.
From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions â entry "Stew" (page 412).
Cooking a dish of boiled meat and vegetables in a dream means profits and prosperity for a poor person. Cooking Indian stew which is a meal consisting of corn and other vegetables in a dream means poverty, worship, or devotion. Cooking unripened vegetables in a dream means an illness. If one cooks a nice meal for himself in a dream, it means that he will be honored, or it could mean a political appointment, or money. If someone else cooks one's meal in a dream, it may denote double-crossing, deception, or perhaps it may mean receiving help from someone according to one's own intention or state.
