What it means to dream about apples
Apples in a dream: the old dream book reads one thing, but really it speaks more of your state today - scary omens carry little weight here. Below, both layers.
First layer · what tradition says
What the traditional dream book says
In the dream books, apples mean health, love and plenty. Ripe red ones mean joy and a feeling that's returned, rotten or wormy ones disappointment, and an apple picked in secret a temptation.
Second layer · the honest read
What the dream really reflects
Really, apples come when it's time to pick the fruit off something you've grown for a long time: your work, a relationship, yourself. Ripe and full, it's ready, so take it without hesitating. Wormy, it's smooth on the outside and eaten away within, and you can feel it. The temptation to pick an apple that isn't yours is about wanting something that doesn't belong to you yet.
FAQ
Is dreaming about apples a good sign or a bad one?
Neither one directly, because a dream does not prophesy. It shows your state, and whether that is light or heavy is yours to weigh once you look closely. Apples here is a mirror rather than a sentence.
The dream reflected you for one night. The chart of the sky holds your whole reflection.
