FIG

Figs are often seen as a female sexual symbol because of their appearance when split open to be eaten. In some societies, by contrast, they symbolize the testicles. In dreams, figs are therefore symbols of fecundity and libido, but if you dreamed of refusing a fig or disliking their taste, could this have unconsciously expressed your feeling of not ’giving a fig’ about someone or something in waking life?

Historically, figs have represented abundance and fertility, as well as sensuality and sexual desires. They can be considered an oasis in your journey across the desert, an oasis that should be taken advantage of with maximum enjoyment.

Fresh and ripe, they indicate happiness; dry, luck that is diminishing. To eat them picked directly from the tree promises amorous pleasures.

A fig tree represents a good harvest or increase in children for one who eats from it in a dream, or it could represent a wealthy person who benefits his community. Even his enemies will come to benefit from him, because many types of snakes live on a fig tree. No other fruit equals figs in benefits. Figs represent earnings without difficulties and it shows. Fig leaves in a dream represent distress, grief, depression. Eating a fig leaf in a dream means sorrow and afflictions. Seeing black figs in season in a dream means comfort, while seeing white figs in a dream has a better connotation. Eating a fig out of season in a dream means jealousy. On the other hand, figs in a dream also could mean sorrow, representing the latter days of Adam and Eve when they first dwelled in paradise.
