Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read beans as small, plain nourishment, the homely fare that keeps a body going. The seed that swells and sprouts can carry quiet associations of fertility and increase. The appetite for them may be modest and steadying.
After Freud, The Interpretation of Dreams (Brill trans., 1913), public domain.Jung
Jung might see the bean as a seed of potential, the small kernel that holds a whole plant within it. It can mark the early promise of something that may grow large. Ask what small beginning you are tending.

Continuity ties beans to waking thoughts of food, thrift, and storing up for need. It may follow a plain meal or a thought about saving and growth. Notice whether they felt sustaining or merely dull.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
The bean climbs to the giant's realm in the old tale, the small seed that opens a road to fortune. Across folklore beans were tied to the dead, to luck, and to fertility, the humble seed thick with hidden meaning.
