It just so happened that the image of the apple carries some ambiguity, caused sometimes by the association with the forbidden fruit that our ancestors Adam and Eve once tasted. Nevertheless, most interpreters believe that buying apples in a dream is a good omen, promising the acquisition of wisdom and, consequently, the achievement of success in various fields of life. Let's try to understand this paradox.
Buy apples from old women!
One of the ardent supporters of such dreams was the famous Bulgarian soothsayer Vanga. In a dream book compiled on the basis of her statements, a very typical example is given when a dreamer buys apples in a dream from an old woman who sells at the market. In this uncomplicated scene, she sees a sign that life will give this person wisdom in reality.
Her conclusion is quite logical, because the image of old age present in the plot is directly related to the years lived, and if the dreamer receives certain fruits from them, then this, if not life experience, is the basis of wisdom. Developing her thought, Ms. Wanga further wrote that the inquiring mind will help this person gain a lot of new knowledge, and they, in turn, will not only increase his self-esteem, but also strengthen his authority among colleagues and bosses.
Tips for mature women and young girls
Readers are also offered other, no less curious, interpretations of what it means for a woman to see apples in a dream, buy them, or just eat them. For example, Ms. Wanga, who became world famous for her ability to contemplate the hidden essence of things, said that if a lady feels herself in a night vision buying frozen and frost-covered fruits, then this means that in real life she deprives herself of the pleasures that she could to indulge. With this, the dreamer will not harm either herself or loved ones. She simply lacks determination, but subsequently she will bitterly regret the missed opportunities.
Further, referring to unmarried girls who happened to see apples in a dream, she recommended to be extremely attentive to everything that they were told (and especially whispered) by young people in whom they saw their potential suitors. As stated above, in the perception of the Bulgarian soothsayer, an apple is a symbol of wisdom, and to see it in a dream, and even more so to buy, means its acquisition. Wisdom comes with experience, which, according to Pushkin, is “the son of difficult mistakes.” It is from these mistakes that may turn out to be bitter for girls, but, alas, belated tears, Madame Wang warns them.
Dream Business Interpreter
In a positive appraisal of "apple dreams," a prominent American religious figure, Pastor David Loff, is quite in agreement with the Bulgarian soothsayer. In his published work, you can find a direct indication of what it means to buy apples. To dream of a similar scene, he considers a good omen. However, if the Bulgarian seer, in her interpretation, focuses on the acquisition of knowledge and natural joys, then Mr. Loff, as a true American, speaks only of “despicable metal”. In his opinion, a person who bought apples in a dream will certainly get rich in reality, and money will fall on him immediately and in large quantities.
Prejudice Pastor
Perhaps the reason for this will be luck in gambling. Note that Pastor Loff does not dissuade his readers from such a sinful activity, but only advises not to lose his head and, breaking the jackpot, stop in time. Such advice from the priest’s lips, to put it mildly, is surprising. However, as if apologizing to the readers, this “devoid of prejudice” shepherd writes that the reason for success may turn out to be completely innocent - for example, an inheritance received from a wealthy relative or a generous award.
About the futile struggle against temptations
Another interpreter of dreams deprived of prejudice was the famous Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, who in the first half of the 20th century convinced humanity that sexual instinct guides all human aspirations. Being consistent in his reasoning, he wrote that buying apples in a dream means a person’s struggle with the desire for forbidden (illegitimate, of course) pleasures, which he forces himself to abandon due to fear of making trouble. Moreover, the number of fruits acquired by him as a result of bargaining is important. The pattern is simple: the more there are, the more numerous are the temptations that surround him in real life.
Further, the author discusses what the plot of night vision means, in which a person has to buy red apples. A dream of such content, in his opinion, may prove to him evidence of unsuccessful attempts to control his lust. It is very likely that, having convinced himself of his own powerlessness before the "call of nature", he will wave his hand at the possible consequences and set off in all serious ways. He will look for self-justification in the banal phrase: "All the same, this ends with everyone."
Be prudent and beware of rotten fruits
However, the opinion of the Austrian interpreter should not be accepted as the ultimate truth. The same plot of the dream - the purchase of apples and their careful selection - is compiled by the drafters of the "Wanderer's Dream Book" in a completely different way. They do not see any connection with the intimate life of a person. The authors merely recommend that dreamers use caution in monetary expenditures and measure them against real incomes. Everything is extremely simple - transfer your prudence from sleep to the real world, and it will protect you from troubles.
Another curious remark of the same authors is the interpretation in which a person buys good and carefully selected apples in a dream, and when he comes home he suddenly discovers that one of them is rotten and corroded by wormholes. In their opinion, such a turn of the plot indicates that in real life someone from the immediate environment of the dreamer cherishes vile ideas in the soul. Perhaps this secret foe wants to by any means go around his career ladder, or maybe he envies family well-being and is looking for a way to upset him. In any case, having seen such a dream, one should take a closer look at the people around him.
Choose only red apples!
They answer very positively the question of what it means in a dream to buy red apples, the compilers of a dream book named after Nostradamus - a famous French astrologer and mystic of the 16th century. Referring to the connection of their writings with the true sayings of the illustrious master, they argue that the image of a ruddy ripe apple, purchased on the market or in the store, is a harbinger of some discovery that the dreamer will have to make in real life. It may not be large-scale and will not affect world progress, but it will certainly be noticed in the circle of close people.
According to the compilers of the dream book, you need to buy apples in a store or on the market very carefully and, choosing fruits, make sure that they do not turn out to be rotten or wormy. In this case, all the work spent in real life will be futile, and after a while you can again be at the starting point, but with dying forces and without the desire to continue the search.
Opinion of another overseas interpreter
One of the most influential interpreters of dreams is considered an American psychologist Gustav Miller. In the 20s of the last century, he published his famous dream book overseas, which gained wide popularity among readers. Like his compatriot Mr. Loff, which was discussed above, he approached the interpretation of dreams from the perspective of a business person and explained to readers in which cases they promised profit and in which they portended losses. In this vein, he examined the question of what it means to buy apples in a dream.
So, Mr. Miller wrote that a person who bought apples in night visions would be awaited by some large-scale acquisitions, which would be preceded by an expansion of business partnerships and, as a result, an increase in profits. At the same time, he specifically indicated how much the dreamer's future benefits depend on the color of the purchased apples.
The color of apples decides everything
Without a shadow of doubt, he argued that the yellow fruits are the harbingers of new business acquaintances. Very nice dream. To buy green apples that have the same color as dollar bills means to conclude a good deal and successfully get rich. Even if dry fruits were bought, you should not be upset - according to Mr. Miller, they are a sign of financial stability and strengthening the dreamer's authority. In conclusion, apparently, condescending to human weaknesses, the venerable master added that red apples promise their buyer success in intimate life.
Disagreements between compilers of dream books
Most of the compilers of dream books pay particular attention to predictions addressed to women. Bought apples in a dream? Such a vision is a reflection of your real affairs, as it is you who have to housekeeping. Nevertheless, observations show that, becoming the plot of night vision, this habitual activity can carry a hidden meaning.
Just note that the interpreters do not have a single opinion on this matter, and they sometimes contradict each other. For example, according to some compilers of dream books, buying apples for women means entering a period of quiet and serene life, while other authors consider this plot a harbinger of an early pregnancy, childbirth and all the worries and troubles that accompany them. What kind of silence and serenity in this case can we talk about?
Once again about the color of apples!
It is interesting to note that for young and inexperienced girls, compilers of dream books recommend paying special attention to the color of the dreamed apples, on which their interpretation largely depends. In particular, if they were green, then such a dream promises nothing but a new friendship. It is possible that this person will possess all conceivable and inconceivable virtues, but things will not go beyond mutual respect.
Dreams in which the girl bought, ate or just saw a red apple are interpreted in a completely different way. This fruit, which once played a cruel joke with our foremother Eve, may well help the dreamer to realize some secret dreams, which she shares only with her closest friend.
True, it is possible that the crazy passion that engulfed both partners at first, will turn out to be short-lived and will soon give way to bitter disappointment. But it is also possible that the erupted romance will end with a marriage proposal. At least that is what the romantic dreamer would like to wish.
And finally, yellow apples, which can also be included in the plot of female dreams. They, according to most interpreters, do not promise either strong friendships or fiery love, but they portend a successful career advancement, which is also important, especially for a modern emancipated woman who is used to relying on herself in everything. There is reason to hope that the authorities will discern in her an employee who is valuable in all respects and will open the doors for career growth.
