Cauliflower

To eat cauliflower in a dream marks being taken to task for neglect of duty, while to see it growing marks prospects brightening. The dream tends to touch the plain vegetable turned to a question of responsibility, and to ask where we have let something slide, and whether amends might yet turn the prospect green again.

Miller 1901
