To dream of broken dishes represents broken promises or failed expectations. Something you thought was guaranteed is no longer possible. Feelings of poverty, lack, and inadequacy.
To dream of dishes on a shelf represents possibilities that are waiting to be realized. You can provide something any time you want.
