Dreaming of fruit: meaning in Korea

For Korea, fruit in a dream is a harvest: the result of your effort, achievements ripening and one of the most traditional taemong.

What they say in Korea 과일꿈

In Korea, fruit is a gift of respect: at Chuseok people give boxes of giant apples and pears, wrapped like jewelry. In kkumhaemong, dreaming of ripe fruit is said to announce that your efforts are paying off: a project maturing, a harvest of income or well-deserved recognition. Picking fruit from a tree is read as a gain earned through your work. Receiving a full basket is read as abundance and good relationships. Fruit is also one of the most classic taemong (태몽): big, glossy apples, peaches, pears or persimmons. If the fruit is unripe, the reading asks for patience; if it is rotten, it is time to let go of something that has passed.

Depending on the details

if you pick ripe fruit

Your effort pays off: a gain, recognition or a personal achievement. A harvest dream, ideal for anyone who has been working steadily for a long time.

if the fruit is unripe

It is not time yet. The Korean reading asks for patience: what you are building ripens at its own pace, and rushing it does not help.

if you receive a basket of fruit

Abundance and good relationships. Someone recognizes or thanks you, and that turns into support, gifts or a very pleasant opportunity.

And luck?

After dreaming of fruit, a Korean might buy the prettiest fruit at the market to share with the family.

In other traditions

In the West fruit in dreams is tied to abundance, fertility, pleasure and reward. Ripe fruit points to achievements, and rotten fruit to missed opportunities or relationships going sour.
