Dates
Dates on the parent tree often touch prosperity and happy union, while dates prepared and traded carry a leaner omen of want. The dream may ask where natural, living abundance differs from what's been packaged and passed along, whom among those near you might injure you unexpectedly, and what you're trusting that you shouldn't.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for dates, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing them on their parent trees, signifies prosperity and happy union; but to eat them as prepared for commerce, they are omens of want and distress.
Fontaine, 1862
Dates denote many enemies, and you will receive much injury by a person you little expect.
