Dreaming of Mushrooms

Mushrooms warn against wealth that comes too fast and goes just as fast.
What happens in the dream
- You see mushrooms: unhealthy desires and reckless haste to get rich, with wealth that may vanish in lawsuits and idle pleasures
- You eat mushrooms: by one tradition, humiliation and an unwise love; by another, a long life, the one happy sign
- If you are young: the temptation to flout convention for foolish pleasures
- You gather mushrooms or see them grow: you will get rich on a splendid speculation, then lose it just as quickly
How you felt
- Impatience: the dream often reflects a wish for things to grow faster
- Suspicion: it may show a sense that sudden luck hides a catch
Ask yourself
- What do I want to get too quickly?
- Which opportunity seems too good to be true?
