Dreaming of Apples

apples, apple tree · mostly positive, unless the fruit is spoiled

Apples are mostly a happy dream about hopes coming to fruition, long life and success, as long as the fruit is sound.

What happens in the dream

  • Red apples on a tree with green leaves: a very lucky sign
  • Eating them: less lucky, unless they are flawless
  • Apples in general: long life, success in business and a faithful partner
  • Ripe apples at the very top of the tree: don't aim too high
  • Rotten apples: efforts that will come to nothing
  • Ripe apples on the tree: the time has come to act on your hopes, so go ahead without fear
  • Apples on the ground: false friends and flatterers are working against you

How you felt

  • Pleasure or appetite: the dream may reflect a sense that something is finally ripe
  • Disappointment at spoiled fruit: perhaps a worry that you've waited too long to act

Ask yourself

  • Which of my plans feels ready right now?
  • Am I aiming for something realistic, or too high for the moment?
