Potato Dream Meaning

Dreaming of potatoes usually speaks of the foundations of your life and your drive to keep going. A potato grows slowly underground, out of sight, so in a dream it often stands for something that has not shown itself yet but is quietly taking shape. The condition of the potatoes makes the meaning clearer.

• Digging potatoes out of the ground

  If big, fresh potatoes come up, you sense that work you did with patience is close to paying off.

• Rotten or sprouting potatoes

  You feel that a chance you had, or a plan you made, is going to waste through neglect.

• Boiling potatoes for a meal

  This turns your attention back to home life, a pull to leave complications behind and return to something simple.

• A full sack of stored potatoes

  This shows a sense of security, the comfort of having something put aside for the future. The same dream sometimes speaks of monotony too, the tiredness of being tied to the same routine every day.

This dream turns your eyes to a plain truth: even something as ordinary as a potato builds the base of a life.
