Plum Dream Meaning

Dreaming of plums usually stands for the small sweet-and-sour moments of life, the ones that feel a little hard at first and later turn into something you enjoy. In Bengal this is the boroi, the small Indian plum picked straight off the tree on winter afternoons, and its taste brings childhood right back. In the same way, the dream often returns a simple pleasure from the old days. The taste of the fruit and its condition tell you most about the meaning.

• Eating sweet, ripe plums

  Something you waited for with patience is now paying off.

• Biting into a green, sour plum

  Your face puckers because you are rushing something, reaching for the fruit before it has ripened.

• A tree full of plums

  Many small chances are spread around you, and they are only waiting for you to choose.

• Gathering plums or climbing the tree to pick them

  You are willing to put in a little effort for an easy pleasure. What you want is not something big, just plain satisfaction.

A plum is small, but its taste is complicated. Many of life's pleasures are like that too. They are nothing grand, yet they stay with you, and this dream points you toward them.
