How to Interpret a Dream Involving Fruit Trees

Fruit trees in dreams can mean a variety of things. If you're having dreams about fruit trees, you first need to write down all the details in your dreams as soon as you have them. Then, you should use those details to decide what your dreams mean. However, you do need to remember that dreams are subjective to what's going in your life. Therefore, what a symbol means for another person may not be what it means for you, so you should take symbolism with a grain of salt.

Have a pen and paper ready on your nightstand. That way, you have it available to write down details when you have a vivid dream.^{[1]XResearch source}
If you wait to write your dream down, even to go to the bathroom, you'll forget most of what you dreamed. Take the time to start writing as soon as you are coming out of the dream.^{[2]XResearch source}

Start with the big details. As your writing about your dream, make note of the big details. What happened? Why were you looking at trees? Where were the trees? Who was with you? Make sure you capture the major points of the dream.^{[3]XResearch source}
- For instance, maybe you dreamed of an apple tree that used to be in your Grandmother's backyard. Maybe you also saw a baby asleep in its branches.

The practical goal of dream interpretation, as I see it, is to find the value in each dream so you can then apply it to improve yourself and your life.

Write down your emotions. Dreams make you feel things just like real-life events. As you wake up, note what you're feeling. Are you scared? Happy? Excited? Sad? Jot down what you're feeling.^{[4]XResearch source}
- For instance, maybe you had a feeling of contentment when you woke up from your dream.
5
Note any other details. Now that you've got the main gist of the dream, include any extra details you can think of. What season was it? Was it night or day? What did the light look like? These little details can help you further interpret your dreams.^{[5]XResearch source}
- Maybe your dream was at sunrise in the spring, and the sun was coming up behind the tree.
Sometimes it's easier to make a drawing of what you saw, rather than write it. It doesn't have to be a perfect drawing. You're trying to get the feeling of the dream, not just render it in perfect detail.^{[6]XResearch source}

1
Note what type of fruit tree it was. The type of fruit tree can make a difference to the interpretation. Different types of fruit represent different things.
- For instance, apple trees can mean joy and entertainment, while fruits that cluster together on the tree can mean togetherness and unity.
- If you associated good memories with your grandmother's apple tree, it could be a sense of contentment about a decision you recently made to have children, symbolized by the baby. Remember, what you dream is related to your life, so you should always interpret in relation to your thoughts and memories.
- Grapefruit could mean you've felt in high spirits lately while kiwi could mean you need to be revitalized^{[7]XResearch source}

Know it could mean good things. Often, dreaming of fruit trees can mean good is coming your way. Some people think it is a sign of wealth to come. In fact, if you own your own business, you could see an increase in sales after a dream like this one.
- In some cultures, dreams are believed to provide keys to the future. For instance, your apple tree dream could mean you'll have a baby on the way soon.
- If you're employed by someone, it could mean you'll move up in the company.
3
Understand what the time of year could mean. What time of year it is in your dream can affect the interpretation. For instance, full, blossoming trees may mean joy and happiness while bare winter trees or withering fruit might mean there is sorrow in your life.
- Similarly, if the fruit is not ripe enough, it may mean you need to put in more hard work to achieve your dreams.^{[8]XResearch source}
- In your dream with the baby, the fact that it was spring could symbolize new life.
4
Note the connotations. Because fruit is associated with spring, it could mean you have new beginnings ahead. Spring represents re-awakenings or new starts, so it could mean now is the time to start something new.
- The flowers in your dream, along with the fact that it's associated with your family, could mean the blossoming of children in your life.
5
Consider what you were feeling. If you saw withered fruit but were overjoyed at the sight, it could mean you are happy to see the end of a project, idea, or relationship. Similarly, if you see ripe fruit but it brings you sadness in your dream, it could have other meanings, such as you got your desired wealth but at a high cost.^{[9]XResearch source}
- The sense of contentment you felt could mean you know your grandmother would be happy about the decision you made, even if she's not still alive.
6
Cross-reference with other details of your dream. You likely didn't dream about just fruit trees. Use what else was in your dream to help interpret the meaning, as one small symbol can influence your dream one way or another.
- In your dream, remember you dreamed about your grandmother's tree, the baby, and the sun. The sun could symbolize the rising of a different phase in your life.
Another meaning could be good news for your children. In Chinese culture, seeing fruit on a tree means your children will have a good fortune.
