| Domain | Definition |
Dream Interpretation | Dreaming of seeing or eating peaches, implies the sickness of children, disappointing returns in business, and failure to make anticipated visits of pleasure; but if you see them on trees with foliage, you will secure some desired position or thing after much striving and risking of health and money. To see dried peaches, denotes that enemies will steal from you. For a young woman to dream of gathering luscious peaches from well-filled trees, she will, by her personal charms and qualifications, win a husband rich in worldly goods and wise in travel. If the peaches prove to be green and knotty, she will meet with unkindness from relatives and ill health will steal away her attractions. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The peach is a juicy fruit from the tree Prunus persica, which has a stone, yellow or whitish flesh, and a velvety skin. Cultivated peaches are divided into freestone and clingstone varieties, depending on whether the flesh sticks to the pit. The nectarine is a closely related fruit.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
The song 'Peaches' by The Stranglers was one of the big summer hits of 1977, a close rival to The Sex Pistols' God Save The Queen in terms of notoriety. Because of the dubious nature of the lyrics, the B-side Go Buddy Go was the song played on UK radio at the time.Source: adapted by the editor from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia under a copyleft GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) from the article "Peaches (song)."
