I'm standing on the porch of a cabin and it's summer. I'm preparing a meal of squirrel meat. I have about 4 or 5 squirrel's tied up upside down waiting to be skinned and filleted. I plan to gut them and roll the meat in flour and corn meal.

Then, after the meat is cooked, a grouchy woman, carrying a plate with a long sandwich, comes up to me and says "This is terrible." I take a fork and poke at it and realize the meat is frozen inside, not thoroughly cooked. I'm not the one who cooked them, and don't know who did.

The scene indicates a situation in which you may be acting on a policy or principle that is an extension of a simplistic mental attitude, making opinions and beliefs that may still reflect illusions or delusions seem realistic. (on the porch of a cabin) Preparing a meal would imply intending to provide yourself with food or with food for thought that gives complete satisfaction (as a meal fills the belly).

Meat of any kind will reflect the idea of what is "mete", right or correct. The squirrel represents feelings that incline one to lay up their treasures on earth rather than in heaven (as squirrels burry their collection of nuts), meaning treasuring physical objects rather than knowledge for the mind. While this scene might pertain to meal preparation with a focus upon the meat, the meal of squirrel would most likely imply finding it correct to obtain great satisfaction from physical treasures instead of from knowledge.

The 4 squirrels represent some worldly thinking pertaining to putting value on physical treasures rather than mental ones and this idea should be changed (or 5 squirrels). The upside down position is an indication of an idea working for Satan but not for God. The flour and corn meal is a kind of "breading" and might suggest the squirrel meat be seen as "a crummy" idea. Needing to skin and gut the squirrel first might imply that a lot of effort is required to make the idea of getting satisfaction from physical treasures rather than mental ones fit for human consumption. This process also emphasizes the nature of the animal from which the meat is being obtained.

The grouchy woman represents an emotional aspect of yourself which may not be easily pleased. With such a perspective you have some backing (a plate) for simply the idea of earning one's daily bread, here seen as a long standing issue. The long sandwich - or submarine type - usually has lots of filling meat, the most expensive item of food. "Meat" usually refers to food for thought that requires much thinking and thus gives the greatest satisfaction. If we understand that the squirrel meat is or is to be the filling, here it will not give much satisfaction Not thoroughly cooked implies not enough thought was put upon this type of meat - or upon the idea of physical objects as having great value - and this idea is not going to give much satisfaction. The True Self claims it is not she who has put much thought on the idea of valuing physical objects rather then ideas for the mind but some aspect of yourself is probably responsible.

Interesting. Although I find most of your interpretation to be religious in nature. I do agree with the last paragraph for the most part. In reality I find the skinning and gutting of any animal repulsive. I do eat meat, but am not involved with the process before it ends up in the supermarket. The part where it's frozen inside reminds me of a plate I got in a restaurant that was just that--frozen in the middle. So yes, I agree that the angry woman is a part of my own personality.
I don't feel the dream is about holding up treasures on earth as opposed to in heaven, at least not in the biblical sense. But it is a reminder of how hard people lived and worked in simpler times before the modern conveniences of automated machines and factories and delivery trucks that bring the food to you.
