Pecans
Pecans — sweet meat locked in a hard shell — often touch a dear plan coming to full fruition, with seeming failure proving a source of gain. The dream may ask what worthwhile thing you're working to crack open, and whether the effort and expense of getting at it will reward you well or, if the nut is small, yield only meagre returns.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pecans, 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 eating this appetizing nut, you will see one of your dearest plans come to full fruition, and seeming failure prove a prosperous source of gain.
To see them growing among leaves, signifies a long, peaceful existence. Failure in love or business will follow in proportion as the pecan is decayed.
If they are difficult to crack and the fruit is small, you will succeed after much trouble and expense, but returns will be meagre.
