Fig tree
Figs, Fig leaves, Fresh figs
A fig tree is generous in a quiet way, with broad, hand-shaped leaves, soft sweet fruit and shade on a hot afternoon. People have grown it near their homes for thousands of years, and in the Bible sitting under your own fig tree is a picture of peace and safety. In a dream, a thriving fig tree often points to abundance, contentment and a home life that feeds you. Figs ripen late in summer, so a branch heavy with them can mean that a slow effort is coming good at last. Fig leaves can raise feelings of modesty, or a wish to cover something you'd rather not show.
Dream variations

- A fig tree without fruitYou're waiting for results that haven't come. Give it one more season of real care before you decide it won't bear.
- Sitting under a fig treeYou long for a peaceful place that's truly yours. Create a small, quiet corner at home.
- Covering yourself with fig leavesYou feel exposed about something, maybe a mistake or a soft spot. Covering up is a natural first reaction; in time you may find you don't need to.
