Dreaming of an Orchard
orchard, apple trees, fruit trees · mostly positive, with some warnings
An orchard dream is mostly about harvest: fulfilled love, prosperity and a happy family, unless it is barren, blighted or storm-swept.
What happens in the dream
- An orchard full of ripening fruit: your hard work is rewarded and your plans come to fruition
- Picking or eating fine fruit: plenty, and perhaps a pleasant romantic adventure
- Simply being in an orchard: wealth, a good marriage, a growing family and steady love
- Walking through a blossoming orchard with your sweetheart: a long courtship ends happily
- Rotten, wormy or scraggy fruit: bad company that will bring you discredit
- A barren, blighted, wintry or storm-swept orchard: missed chances, carelessness about the future, or unwelcome guests and duties
- Hogs eating the fallen fruit: you'll lose property chasing what isn't really yours
- Getting caught in brambles in the orchard: a jealous rival, or a big row with your partner
How you felt
- Gratitude: the dream often reflects satisfaction at seeing your efforts ripen
- Worry about the future: a stripped orchard can mirror a fear of having neglected what matters
Ask yourself
- What have I planted that is starting to ripen?
- Is there an opportunity I'm letting pass?
