Dreaming of Seeing Rotten Fruit - dream meaning with inherited lore
Traditionally, this has sometimes been interpreted as a scene where something that should have been sweet turns out differently than expected.
A familiar fruit like an apple or tangerine is soft or turning black. You do not eat it, but as you check its condition, you may feel wasteful or uneasy.
Korean lore: Traditionally, fruit has sometimes represented fruition or joy, so rotten fruit has been interpreted as an image of an expected result losing its sweetness. It may also be seen as reflecting a missed opportunity or lingering regret. (This interpretation comes from a tradition in folk dream readings that compares the condition of food and fruit to the flow of abundance and fruition.)
Through the mind: It may reflect disappointment that something you recently hoped for has slowed down, or that you are losing something good. You might also look back and ask whether you are tired from waiting for that outcome, rather than from the outcome itself.
