   Food and drink actually seem to have highly significant *relevance* in the   
   dream world *if* any of it is consumed.  It's like, if a dreamer eats or   
   drinks anything from a scene, in real life, shortly thereafter, the human   
   being will be involved in    
   something very similar.   
      
   By declining food and water from strangers, the dreamer is choosing to remain   
   independent rather than to join an unknown group.   
      
   (Then again, the guy could have just been ignorant as to holding out a bag so   
   that a person may take one's own chip.)
