Dreaming of ripe, appealing fruit in your dream is a very positive omen, and can symbolize several things: success and prosperity (the fruits of your labor); a pregnancy (fruit of the womb) or a heightened period of creativity (the fruits of your imagination.)

If the fruit is sour, rotten, or spoiled, however, it is a sign that something you’re striving for is going to turn bad - and it’s best if you stop work on it right now, figure out what’s wrong with it, and move on only once the problem is resolved.

(Dried fruits; Fresh fruits) In a dream, a sweet tasting fruit represents blessings, knowledge or money. Even a sour tasting fruit means the same when it suits the taste of the person eating it in his dream. When a sour tasting fruit does not agree with the person’s taste in the dream, then it means unlawful earnings or aggravation of his illness.

Seeing one’s most preferred fruit in a dream represent profits earned from one’s own sweat and such profits will equal the amount of efforts exerted to earn them.

Fruit represents abundance and prosperity. As a result of the seeds that they carry, they may also represent new beginnings. In biblical stories, mythology and literature in general, fruits have enjoyed much symbolic meaning. They may represent sexual desires and the search for wealth and immortality. In order to understand the meaning of the fruit in your dreams, consider your current strivings and psychological space. Also, consider whether the fruit was ripe, rotting or bitter. All of the details will help you to understand whether you have a lustful heart, are at a new frontier, or have missed opportunities for growth and pleasure.

Fruits often reveal a desire or appetite, whether emotional, sensual, economic, or spiritual. In dreams, they predict abundance, prosperity, and earthly pleasures.

If the fruit was too green or too sour it will take you a while to enjoy such prosperity; if it has worms or is rotten, it seems that you are on the wrong path because the dream announces that those pleasures will be reached when you can no longer enjoy them.

Like flowers, each fruit has its specific oneiric interpretation. For example, grapes indicate prosperity; watermelon, fertility; plums, immortality, etc. Picking ripe fruit is a happy omen of wealth and goods of all kinds.

Vegetables And Fruit

Vegetables and fruit are a vital source of nourishment in the real world, and in dreamland their reference is usually to feeding the emotions rather than nourishing the body.

In general, fertility and readiness are associated with ripe and succulent fruit. To see fruit in your dream may therefore signify a period of growth, abundance, sweet reward and financial gain. However, if you dream of fruit that is past its ripeness, it is said to represent a missed opportunity or a loss of fertility. You are thought to be concerned with nourishment, fullness or abundance if you dream of vegetables; or feel you are lacking these things if the vegetables are spoiled or of poor quality. According to Freud, dreams that feature vegetables and fruits may be of a sexual nature, depending on the shape of the vegetable and your feelings in the dream. For Jungians, vegetables are symbols of personal growth indicating the need for spiritual nourishment.

Interpreting the symbolism of fruits and vegetables in your dream depends on how you feel about them in daily life; whether you like them for their taste and nutritional value, or find them dull and boring. You may be projecting a need to feed your body or soul, or reflecting on a dull and not very satisfying part of life. The number, shape, color, taste and type of vegetable or fruit and the overall content and feeling of your dream also need be considered.

Fruit Directory

When you see fruit in a dream, it usually refers to readiness, financial gain and sexuality, as well as suggesting that you are going through a time of personal growth. The type and condition of the fruit that appears in your dream will influence its meaning. Ripe fruit, for example, is associated with lush and rewarding experiences, rich with promise for the future (because fruits are full of seeds).

If you see fruit that is green, or not yet ripened, it may refer to a certain hastiness that you may be displaying in waking life, as well as failed attempts to achieve a goal. More hard work for a longer period of time is suggested.

If rotting or bitter fruit is seen in a dream, it may suggest that you are missing out on a wealth of opportunities that are available to you. You are essentially hindering your growth and the amount of pleasure you could experience. A fruit pip may represent something that is capable of major growth. A pip sound may symbolize detection or communication. It could also suggest defeating somebody by a small margin, pipping them at the post.

Fruits have connotations other than just reward in dreams and when interpreting a dream that highlighted a particular fruit, it is important to take into account its shape, texture, and freshness as your unconscious may have selected it to reflect your sexuality. A dream of fruit can often have sexual connotations because the food is sweet, juicy and delicious. In ancient times, fruits were considered symbols of feminine fertility because of their seeds. As a result of the influence of Freud certain fruits—especially the banana—are considered phallic symbols. The banana is associated with masculine virility on account of its shape, so a ripe banana may indicate a man who is at his sexual peak. Soft and curvaceous fruits like melons, apples and peaches have been compared to female breasts or the child-bearing womb, so if you are a man taking a bite out of a juicy melon, could this mirror your desire to become more intimate with a woman? If you were a woman eating a shriveled apple in your dream, could this echo a regret for the loss of youth? Numerous cultures have also associated round, seed-packed fruits with the fruitfulness of the womb, so if you are a woman hoping to conceive in waking life, dreaming of eating a pomegranate could reflect your wishes. Fruit is also thought to symbolize immortality and it is easy to see why; its seeds signify the beginnings of life, leading to ripe fruit from which seed again springs, making the cycle begin all over again.... fruit directory dream meaning

Fruit Tree

1. Believer... fruit tree dream meaning

Harvesting Fruit

If you are picking ripe succulent fruit from a tree in your dream, this may confirm a sense of satisfaction in waking life that you can at last enjoy the sweet taste and rewards of success. An abundance of health, goodness and the fruits of your labor are also indicated if an orchard appears in your dream. And if you dreamed of feeding and watering a young fruit tree, your unconscious may have focused on your nurturing nature. On the other hand, if your fruit crop was damaged, stunted or blighted, your unconscious may be mirroring your real sense of regret that you are unable to enjoy success or the fruits of your labor. Your unconscious may also have been warning you to take steps to safeguard your health, your family, your relationships or your business before the damage becomes irreversible.

Dreaming of a fruit bowl overflowing with freshly picked fruit may reflect your own sense of being blessed in waking life. Dream fruit in a bowl indicates the culmination of actions that have been taken in the past. You have been able to harvest the past and make a new beginning for yourself. Peeling fruit in dreams introduces elements of bitterness and separation, but it can also suggest necessary action that need to be taken to further your development in waking life.

If you are dreaming of buying or selling fruit, it may be that you are participating in a business that is plentiful, but will not reap much profit.... harvesting fruit dream meaning

Exotic Fruit / Dried Fruit

Dreams of exotic fruit may be urging you to be more adventurous in your waking life. On the other hand, the larger and more exotic your dream appetite, the more interesting and robust your sexual hunger. Papaya connotes a need to calm emotions or anxiety. Dried fruit in your dreams, such as raisins, suggests pleasant memories or emotional nourishment from an unexpected source in waking life. They can, however, also suggest missed opportunities, negative thinking or bad timing.... exotic fruit / dried fruit dream meaning
