LillaFood In Dreams : FRUIT
September 16th 2008 01:24
Fruits ~ mouthwatering dream symbols that reveal the desires we have to see the fruits of our labours, efforts and endeavours. Like Flowers, Fruits are symbolically linked to Life, growth, sensuality. Fruits in particular are linked to reproduction and the ripening of our sexual maturity.
It is said that to dream of eating fruit portends that all legal matters will be settled in your favour.
The Colour of the Fruit is also quite significant.
See Colours In Dreams for added information CLICK HERE)
Unripened Fruit : often represents sexual and emotional immaturity.
Apricots : To see them on trees denotes that although the future seems rosy, there is hidden bitterness and sorrow. Should you pick and eat this fruit, then it heralds the arrival of forthcoming tragic influences, all necessary for your growth and development.
To See Others Eating Apricots ~ You surroundings will become unpleasant and disagreeable to your tastes and you will need to apply energy to make accommodation changes.
Ancient Folklore from many nationalities, hold the belief that to dream of eating one, denotes misfortune. This may well stem from a Melanesian legend, which states that the Banana was the cause of human mortality.
In Roman times... Dates; because of their luscious taste and spiritual connections, were often used as an aphrodisiac during pre-nuptial activities.
According to Artemidorus Daldianus, a dream of dates denotes either strong and powerful enemies or admirers of the opposite sex.
Sacred to the Romans as symbols of fruitfulness and life, to see figs on a tree and pick them in our dreams, is suggesting that we can now be in touch with a deeper spiritual awareness, than we have previously had conscious knowledge of.
Symbolic of the tree of Knowledge and the beginning of duality, of masculinity and femininity, dreaming of Figs very often denotes the start of a physically active phase of life in adolescence, or the gaining of psychic ability in those already initiated.
To Eat Figs out of Season ~ denotes grief through inappropriate behaviour.
In fact, according to the Gypsy’s, it is said that to dream of eating figs at all, denotes bad fortune, public scandal and shame, particularly if the figs are dry.
Fruit Seller (to dream of one) : denotes a need for you to recover losses rapidly in the near future, try not to indulge in risky speculations.
Finished painting a wall or a course of study? Celebrate. Finally finished a long term project/hobby? Celebrate. Finished writing that book, article, poem? Celebrate. Finally confronted someone who had been intimidating you? Celebrate. Life requires celebration when personal challenges are met, even if it is just to shout yourself a extra Moccachinno or a movie ticket from time to time ... not just on birthdays and holidays.
The grape is the fruit most closely associated with Bacchus, or in his Greek form, Dionysus, the god of Joy, happiness and fertility. In fact, in Mythology, grapes remain the food of the Gods. So to dream of grapes shows quite clearly a search/need for fun, laughter and creativity within our physical realationships. Sometimes you must make this happen for yourself and not rely on others to bring it into your life. Sometimes it can require a sacrifice - even if it is to sacrifice sadness for a while - to achieve what we are looking for.
To the Gypsys grapes represent a sign of coming cheerfulness and profit.
Grapes as Wine ~ often represents the need now for a sacrifice because of its affiliation with blood.
Gathering White grapes ~ gains both financial and personal (sometimes as returns in love) bringing you to a point of the ability to progress towards better physical intimacy.
Gathering Black or deep Red Grapes ~ damage/losses, sometimes through the restrictions of inhibitions we cannot seem to overcome.
Treading Grapes ~ is believed in folklore to represent that you will overthrow your enemies and share love with someone whom is very special to you.
To Walk Under Grapevines and Pick Grapes ~ is believed to be such an auspicious sign of coming love and prosperity that a lottery ticket bought at the right time now, has a very good chance of winning some money. A gamble will pay off in love or money, so if you've been admiring someone from afar, now may well be the time to make your feelings known.
You will decide.
Oranges : The symbolism around this fruit is obscure and little is available other than some obscure Gypsy folklore in which it is believed that to dream of oranges is a dream of tears and anxiety. You are asked to look very closely at what you are getting into in your waking life, to avoid unnecessary tears in the future?
Perhaps the best advice here would be to consider when is a good time to walk away from any bad situation, which is robbing you of your balance and health, without much forward momentum towards peace, romance and physical closeness?

Rotten Pears ~ denote sickness, and loss of love if the overall dream is of a negative nature.
Pineapple : The Gypsys believe that if you dream of pineapples you will soon receive an invitation to a celebration or a wedding.
Ripe Plums ~ good health, happy realtionships through healthy lifestyle choices.
Rotten Plums (on the ground) ~ You are asked to take a very close look at who your friends are at the moment, to avoid disgrace. This symbol is a strong indicator of false friendships.
Dried Plums (prunes) ~ Longevity of realtionships and health.
The Pomegranate is the Christian symbol of the resurrection and fertility. With the Golden bells they form part of the symbolic robes of the Israelite high priests. .
Unripe Pomegranates ~ can mean scandals and sickness and your inability to have the maturity to recognise a helpful mentor when you see one, through a need to run with the in crowd. Be vigilant least you miss an opportunity to grow spiritually.
Sometimes a good massage can do wonders to restore self esteem and flagging spirits.

mmm indeed, I dont know if its becuase I have been researching fruit in dreamlore or not, but lately I have been having many dreams of fruits, I am sure i have never dreamt of before?
Miss, all that aside, I found a new (really old) dream almanac and cannot wait to integrate some of the beliefs (and amazing divination) not to mentiont he mindblowing accuracy of the information contained within it).. wow it takes what I have learnt to another dimension. Proof further that if you help your brothers boat across the river, lo! your own will have also arrived there.
Great to see you again, I have missed you on orble.
Hope alls well and that the floods and mayhem missed your little corner of the world?
