Pepper
Pepper burning your tongue often touches suffering through your own love of gossip, while red pepper growing brings a thrifty, independent partner. The dream may ask where a sharp, stinging consequence is following loose talk, and whether the heat you've brought on yourself warns you to guard your tongue before it scorches a relationship.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pepper, 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 pepper burning your tongue, foretells that you will suffer from your acquaintances through your love of gossip.
To see red pepper growing, foretells for you a thrifty and an independent partner in the marriage state.
To see piles of red pepper pods, signifies that you will aggressively maintain your rights.
To grind black pepper, denotes that you will be victimized by the wiles of ingenious men or women. To see it in stands on the table, omens sharp reproaches or quarrels.
For a young woman to put it on her food, foretells that she will be deceived by her friends.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of picking pepper-pods, foretells to married people smart children, if they have any. A girl who dreams this, will have a smart man for a lover, but he will not pet her much either as a sweetheart or wife.
