Tomatoes
Tomatoes — ripe, red, homegrown abundance — often touch the approach of good health and domestic happiness, with a happy marriage for a young woman who sees ripe ones. The dream may ask where wholesome, flourishing plenty is ripening in your home life, and whether you can trust the warm contentment on the vine to deliver what it promises.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tomatoes, 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 tomatoes, signals the approach of good health. To see them growing, denotes domestic enjoyment and happiness.
For a young woman to see ripe ones, foretells her happiness in the married state.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of this valuable vegetable, denotes prosperity in life; if you have children, they will thrive; if you are in love, your suit will be successful. If a maiden dreams of them, it denotes that she will marry her present sweetheart, have many children, and be very happy; to a farmer it denotes abundant crops.
