Dreaming of Oranges

orange, citrus, clementine, tangerine · mixed

Oranges divide the old readings: the tree and plenty promise health and fortune, but eating or cutting the fruit mostly brings worry.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing healthy orange trees full of ripe fruit: health and prosperity
  • Giving oranges to friends: you'll be honoured and respected
  • Being given fine oranges by your sweetheart: a marriage that brings prosperity
  • Having plenty of oranges: as much gold will come your way
  • Eating oranges: in some readings, health; in others, worry over sick relatives, discontent in business and, for a lover, a possible breakup; if they taste good, the bad luck eases
  • Cutting oranges: wounds, grief and vexation
  • Slipping on orange peel: a death in the family

How you felt

  • Vitality: the dream may reflect a need for energy and sunshine
  • Concern for loved ones: it can mirror worry about the health of people you care for

Ask yourself

  • Where am I looking for more warmth and energy?
  • Who around me am I worried about right now?
