Lemon in a dream
By folk reading, a lemon in a dream brings freshness and a clear head, along with a sour but useful truth or two.
In folk readings the lemon has two faces: it is sour, yet it refreshes. So a dream of a lemon is believed to announce an honest word that sounds tart at first and feels good afterwards. A yellow, fragrant fruit is read as alertness and clear thoughts, and a lemon tree as a longing for sun and warmer places. The old folks say that whoever makes lemonade from a lemon in a dream knows how to turn things for the better in waking life too.
