- Eating a banana: one reading sees a tiresome business venture and self- imposed duties; another sees wealth and happiness
- Bananas growing on the tree: success in love
- Rotting bananas: you'll soon get drawn into an unpleasant undertaking
- Trading in bananas: interests pile up around you without paying off
- Being handed a ripe banana by your sweetheart: a wedding is near
How you felt
- Boredom or distaste: the dream may point to a routine or relationship that weighs on you
- Pleasure or appetite: you may be longing for more sweetness and plenty
Ask yourself
- Is there a duty I've taken on that I don't really want?
- Does what sustains me right now actually appeal to me?
