Cabbage
Cabbage reads poorly in the old books — disorder running riot, green cabbage marking unfaithfulness, bad news from afar. The dream tends to touch the plain, dense vegetable turned to ill omen, and to ask what disorder is springing up in our affairs, and whether some unwelcome word is making its way toward us.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cabbage, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
It is bad to dream of cabbage. Disorders may run riot in all forms. To dream of seeing cabbage green, means unfaithfulness in love and infidelity in wedlock.
To cut heads of cabbage, denotes that you are tightening the cords of calamity around you by lavish expenditure.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of cabbage, signifies very bad news from abroad.
