Olive

Interpretation

Olives symbolize peace, prosperity, and complex flavors. Dreaming of the tree or fruit promises pleasure and happiness. An olive branch reflects relaxation and reconciliation. Eating olives, however, points to a love affair unlikely to end well—bitterness may linger. Wandering through an olive forest foretells unusual experiences that stretch your perspective.

The dream encourages you to balance indulgence with awareness of consequences.
