Melon

A melon often touches ill health and unfortunate ventures if seen ripe, hasty anxiety if eaten, but good fortune if growing green on the vine. The dream may ask where rushing into something might cost you, and whether present troubles, still on the vine and unripe, might actually be ripening toward a sweeter outcome.

What the old dream-books say

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

To dream of melons, denotes ill health and unfortunate ventures in business.

To eat them, signifies that hasty action will cause you anxiety.

To see them growing on green vines, denotes that present troubles will result in good fortune for you.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of ripe, fine looking melons, is an excellent omen, as it foretells good health, good luck, and much happiness. A watermelon full of black seeds denotes so much money to be paid to you. If a married woman dreams this, it promises her many children.
