Pomegranate

A pomegranate — many-seeded symbol of temptation — often touches the wise use of your talents over health-destroying pleasures, with captivity to another's charms if you eat one. The dream may ask where you're choosing enrichment of mind over indulgence, and whether an alluring temptation is testing the forces that keep you free.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

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

Pomegranates, when dreamed of, denotes that you will wisely use your talents for the enrichment of the mind rather than seeking those pleasures which destroy morality and health.

If your sweetheart gives you one, you will be lured by artful wiles to the verge of distraction by woman's charms, but inner forces will hold you safe from thralldom.

To eat one, signifies that you will yield yourself a captive to the personal charms of another.
