Grapes

Grape, Bunch of grapes, Green grapes

Bunches of grapes hanging heavy on the vine have been an image of abundance and celebration since ancient times. Dreaming of them often signals a rewarding time after patient effort, since grapes take a whole season to ripen. Sharing grapes with others speaks of good company and pleasures meant to be enjoyed together. Sour or shriveled grapes may hint at disappointment, or at the old fable of pretending not to want what you couldn't reach. Seeing them ripe on the vine is an especially hopeful image.
