Grapes
Grapes often appear when you're weighing abundance against effort — the sweet pull of desire, the uncertain labor of getting there. What ripens in your inner vineyard: a harvest ready to share, or something not yet yours to taste?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for grapes, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To eat grapes in your dream, you will be hardened with many cares; but if you only see them hanging in profuseness among the leaves, you will soon attain to eminent positions and will be able to impart happiness to others. For a young woman, this dream is one of bright promise. She will have her most ardent wish gratified.
To dream of riding on horseback and passing musca-dine bushes and gathering and eating some of its fruit, denotes profitable employment and the realization of great desires. If there arises in your mind a question of the poisonous quality of the fruit you are eating, there will come doubts and fears of success, but they will gradually cease to worry you.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of an abundance of grapes is a good omen, as is also a dream that you eat grapes of a pleasant flavor; but if the grapes are sour and broken, it shows that you will have sorrow. If a young girl dreams she has a present of beautiful grapes, she will marry well within the year, and be prolific of children.
