Mushroom
Mushrooms — sprung up overnight, some nourishing and some poison — often touch unhealthy desires and unwise haste in amassing wealth that may vanish. The dream may ask where you're rushing to grow something quickly, and whether the sudden, unrooted gains you're reaching for are wholesome or a defiance of good sense.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for mushroom, 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 mushrooms in your dreams, denotes unhealthy desires, and unwise haste in amassing wealth, as it may vanish in law suits and vain pleasures.
To eat them, signifies humiliation and disgraceful love.
For a young woman to dream of them, foretells her defiance of propriety in her pursuit of foolish pleasures.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you eat mushrooms is a sign you will live to a good old age, but to dream you see them grow, or gather them, is a sign you will get rich by a splendid speculation, and then get poor as suddenly as you got wealthy.
