Vegetables
Vegetables eaten often touch strange luck — a season of seeming success that proves a gross imposition — with woe in withered ones. The dream may ask where something wholesome-looking is masking a letdown, and whether the success you think you're enjoying is genuine nourishment or a deception you'll come to regret once the truth ripens.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for vegetables, 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 vegetables, is an omen of strange luck. You will think for a time that you are tremendously successful, but will find to your sorrow that you have been grossly imposed upon.
Withered, or decayed vegetables, bring unmitigated woe and sadness.
For a young woman to dream that she is preparing vegetables for dinner, foretells that she will lose the man she desired through pique, but she will win a well-meaning and faithful husband. Her engagements will be somewhat disappointing.
