Dreaming of Walnuts

walnut, nut, nutshell · mixed

Walnuts often promise joy and wealth, though some traditions read them as trouble and infidelity.

What happens in the dream

  • Seeing walnuts: plenty of joys and favors, and in love a good-natured partner
  • Cracking a rotten walnut: your hopes will end in bitterness
  • Walnut stains on your hands: your partner will turn to someone else, and you will regret past indiscretions
  • By another reading: hardship, unfaithfulness in love, and losses for traders and sailors

How you felt

  • A sense of mystery: the dream may reflect something hidden under a hard shell
  • Doubt: you may not yet know whether a situation is sound

Ask yourself

  • What do I need to crack open to see what's inside?
  • Are my current expectations realistic?
