Dream Interpretation | To dream of eating this appetizing nut, you will see one of your dearest plans come to full fruition, and seeming failure prove a prosperous source of gain. To see them growing among leaves, signifies a long, peaceful existence. Failure in love or business will follow in proportion as the pecan is decayed. If they are difficult to crack and the fruit is small, you will succeed after much trouble and expense, but returns will be meagre. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
