Lettuce
Lettuce — green and crisp — often touches a desired good reached after small embarrassment, though eating it can hint at illness or jealousy. The dream may ask what fresh thing you're cultivating toward enjoyment, where oversensitivity might cause needless pain, and whether your own jealous streak is what stands between you and the good.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for lettuce, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see lettuce growing green and thrifty, denotes that you will enjoy some greatly desired good, after an unimportant embarrassment.
If you eat lettuce, illness will separate you from your lover or companion, or perhaps it may be petty jealousy.
For a woman to dream of sowing lettuce, portends she will be the cause of her own early sickness or death.
To gather it, denotes your superabundant sensitiveness, and that your jealous disposition will cause you unmitigated distress and pain.
To buy lettuce, denotes that you will court your own downfall.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of eating lettuce, is a sign of health and happiness, provided that it looks green and nice, and tastes good; wilted or wormy lettuce shadows forth vexation and trouble.
