Have you ever dreamt of consuming fruits like cherries, apples, strawberries, or maybe pineapples? Dreams about eating as such are highly symbolic. When you eat foods or things, you put something into your body that either benefits or harms you.
For example, eating glass in a dream symbolizes negative behavior or accepting false information (believing something that’s not true,) while consuming nutritious food like cereal or fruit represents good health, positive prospects, or optimistic developments.
Although some may interpret a dream involving fruit consumption as a sign of good health, this oversimplifies the complex meaning of dreams, which can differ depending on the individual. Furthermore, the specific type of fruit consumed or the circumstance of the consumption, such as being fed or coerced, could alter the interpretation of the dream.
Spiritual Meaning
On a spiritual level, dreaming about eating fruit means positive surprises, good tidings, moments of joy, and recovery. According to an old dream dictionary I inherited from my grandmother, eating fruits in dreams also serves as a good indicator of pregnancy.
Old interpretations go so far as to say that eating cherries is said to be a predictor of giving birth to a male child while consuming peaches, mangoes, or watermelon in dreams is associated with the birth of a female child. While these interpretations should be viewed with some skepticism, it is still worth knowing them.
Furthermore, dream of eating fruit symbolizes physical and mental healing and receiving something you have been waiting for for a long time. Just like fruit doesn’t grow on a tree or bush overnight, everything you desire takes time. This dream informs you that your wishes will soon come true or you will achieve your long-term goals.
The act of eating fruit in dreams is often seen as “harvesting what you have planted.” In other words, all your wishes and dreams will come true in no time. Fruits are mostly sweet, which could be a metaphor for sweet and carefree moments. For example, dreams of eating fruit are common in people who are traveling on vacation or planning something exciting.
Someone Forcing You To Eat Fruits
Dreaming about someone forcing you to eat fruit is seen as a negative sign. This dream indicates that there is someone who “rubs honey around your mouth,” while in reality, they are lying or “feeding you lies.”
Cherries
Cherries are most often depicted as two berries connected by a twig, and dreaming of eating cherries represents your desire for a relationship or togetherness. It could also indicate a twin flame reunion or meeting someone new with whom you will feel an instant connection.
Cherries can be both sweet and sour, which could indicate your insecurity. Maybe you want to enter a new relationship, but it’s hard for you to accept that you won’t be so free anymore. It is possible that you love someone and struggle with the reality of living apart from them.
Apple
An apple is often seen as a highly spiritual symbol in dreams, probably because of the biblical story of Adam and Eve. A dream about eating an apple encourages you not to judge a book by its cover or, rather, an apple by its skin.
On the outside, an apple may look ugly, with signs of rot, but inside, there is sweet juice and healthy flesh. When you dream of eating an apple, your subconscious is encouraging you not to be so hard on yourself and not to look for faults or flaws in yourself that don’t exist.
The apple is a widely distributed fruit across all continents, serving as a reminder that we are all human beings and should avoid criticizing ourselves or others.
Mango
If you dream about eating mangoes, it denotes your yearning for enjoyment and pleasure in your life. Mangoes are renowned for their juicy and delectable flavor and their vivid hues. Hence, dreaming about mangoes might indicate that one is unconsciously searching for more exhilaration or delight in real life.
Strawberries
Strawberries are often associated with sweetness, abundance, and pleasure. They are known for their vibrant color, juicy texture, and delicious taste. So, if you dream about eating strawberries, it could mean that you are experiencing some sort of pleasure or abundance in your life (or pleasure and abundance are about to come into your life.) It could also signify that you are feeling satisfied or fulfilled in some way.
Banana
Bananas are associated with pleasure and sensuality, so if you’re enjoying eating them in your dream, it could be a sign that you’re feeling happy and content in your daily life. If you ate them with the peel on, it could be a sign that you need to take some important steps to feel happy again (letting go of your limiting belief or negative thoughts.)
Let’s not forget that the banana has a phallic shape, which could indicate your desire for intimacy or a relationship as such.
Biblical Meaning
The fruits of the Spirit, which include love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, faithfulness, and gentleness, are frequently linked with fruits in the Bible. Eating fruits in a dream could therefore be interpreted as a symbol of growing in these virtues. It could also indicate that you are growing closer to God.
