Elderberries
Elderberries clustered on the bush often touch domestic contentment and quiet abundance — the modest richness of a settled, well-provided home. The dream may ask where simple plenty is gathering around you, what fruitful ease your circumstances are offering, and whether you can rest into a season of homely, unhurried good fortune.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for elderberries, 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 elderberries on bushes with their foliage, denotes domestic bliss and an agreeable county home with resources for travel and other pleasures.
Elderberries is generally a good dream.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of elderberries augurs content and riches: to a maiden they bespeak a speedy marriage; to a married woman, that she will shortly be with child; to the tradesman, success in business; to the farmer, good crops.
