Pineapple

A pineapple — spiny without, sweet and golden within — often touches highly propitious success, with vexation in the pricking that gives way to pleasure. The dream may ask where a rich reward waits behind a prickly exterior, and whether you can endure the small jabs of preparing something good for the sweetness it finally yields.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for pineapple, 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 pineapples, is exceedingly propitious. Success will follow in the near future, if you gather pineapples or eat them.

To dream that you prick your fingers while preparing a pineapple for the table, you will experience considerable vexation over matters which will finally bring pleasure and success.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of this fruit is a sign of gold; if you see an abundance of it, you will receive plenty of gold soon after: a young girl who dreams of pineapples will probably get a rich husband.
