Onion in a dream
By folk reading, an onion in a dream means that something is being revealed layer by layer, with a little patience.
Old dream books read the onion two ways: as a guardian of the home and as a truth that peels away slowly. A whole onion is believed to speak of something with more layers than it seems at first glance, so it asks for patience. Tears from an onion are not taken as sorrow in folk belief but as relief, because they are tears with no real cause. A braid of onions in the house is read as protection and a good host. The dream, they say, is honest but not stern.

Dreaming of crying while cutting an onion
In folk belief those tears are read as a release, not as grief. They say that after such a dream you breathe easier and laugh sooner.
Dreaming of eating raw onion
Old dream books see in it resilience and the strength to say what you think. The dream says you can stand up for your opinion without a quarrel.
Dreaming of spring onions in the garden
Fresh beginnings and a springtime mood, that is how folk tradition reads this dream. It is believed that something you started recently is already taking root.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
