Cherries

Cherries in a dream mark popularity won through amiability and unselfishness, ripe ones touching good news. The dream tends to touch the small, bright, sweet fruit and the warmth it heralds, and to ask what gladness or good word is ripening toward us, and how our own openheartedness is drawing good things and people near.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cherries, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of cherries, denotes you will gain popularity by your amiability and unselfishness. To eat them, portends possession of some much desired object. To see green ones, indicates approaching good fortune.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of ripe cherries foretells that you will hear good news, or that some one will do you a favor. After such a dream you can easily borrow money if you wish to. If the cherries are green or mixed, your news will be a mixture of good and bad.
