Lemons
Lemons — sharp, sour, bright — often touch jealousy that proves absurd on examination, or the humiliation of biting into something bitter. The dream may ask where suspicion is souring a beloved bond, whether the charge you're nursing would dissolve under honest light, and what disappointment the sour fruit warns you not to swallow whole.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lemons, 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 lemons on their native trees among rich foliage, denotes jealousy toward some beloved object, but demonstrations will convince you of the absurdity of the charge.
To eat lemons, foretells humiliation and disappointments.
Green lemons, denotes sickness and contagion.
To see shriveled lemons, denotes divorce, if married, and separation, to lovers.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of lemons denotes contentions in your family and uneasiness on account of children; they announce the death of some relation and disappointment in love.
