Figs

Figs often touch ripe sweetness and the health or sickness hidden in indulgence — joy when sound, marred pleasure when spoiled. The dream may ask what rich, soft fruit you're reaching for, whether it nourishes or unsettles you, and where a prosperity growing on the branch differs from a pleasure already gone soft.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for figs, 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

Figs, signifies a malarious condition of the system, if you are eating them, but usually favorable to health and profit if you see them growing.

For a young woman to see figs growing, signifies that she will soon wed a wealthy and prominent man.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of eating good figs, signifies joy and happiness; if the figs are mouldy or defective, your pleasure will be marred by some disagreeable event.
