Radish

Radishes — sharp, crisp, quick to grow — often touch good luck, kind friends, and prospering business, with slight suffering through another's thoughtlessness. The dream may ask where small, fast-growing good is sprouting in your life, and whether you can enjoy the bright fortune coming up while bearing a minor sting.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for radish, 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 seeing a bed of radishes growing, is an omen of good luck. Your friends will be unusually kind, and your business will prosper.

If you eat them, you will suffer slightly through the thoughtlessness of some one near to you.

To see radishes, or plant them, denotes that your anticipations will be happily realized.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

To dream of this vegetable, signifies that a secret will be discovered, which will occasion a muss in the family. To a girl, it is a sign she will lose her beau, and to a lover, it foreshadows he will be cut out by some other nice young man.
