Apricots carry opposite readings: health, pleasure and happy love on one side, hidden bitterness behind a rosy surface on the other.

What happens in the dream

  • Apricots in season: contentment, health and pleasure
  • Another, very positive reading: health, prosperity, an early marriage and success in love
  • Apricots growing on the tree: a future that looks rosy but hides bitterness
  • Others eating them: your surroundings will feel unpleasant
  • Apricots in general: you've been wasting time on trifles
  • Apricots out of season: empty hopes and bad luck
  • Eating them: unlucky influences are drawing near

How you felt

  • Pleasure mixed with wariness: the dream may reflect a situation that seems too good to be true
  • Impatience: perhaps a sense that things aren't happening at the right time

Ask yourself

  • Is there something in my life that looks too good to be true?
  • Am I spending my time on what really matters?
