Apple Dreams-Psychological Meaning

Added on:3/10/2008 | In Food

The apple may be considered as a sexual symbol. It is the forbidden fruit associated with the Fall of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and so with 'sin' by which sex is usually meant. Freud pointed out that eating is connected with sexuality because the mouth is the first erogenous zone discovered by young children. From a Freudian viewpoint apples stand for lasciviousness. Your dream may be saying that you have a sexual appetite and want to taste the fruits of life. Alternatively, apples may symbolise knowledge as this is what Adam and Eve gained after falling from innocence. On a mundane level you may have personal associations with the symbol such as an 'apple computer' the 'Big Apple' or maybe as a symbol of good diet and health.

  • Frogs
    Men rarely dream of frogs, but more often of toads. In women's or girls' dreams, the frog has a similar significance to that in the well-known fairytale of the frog king by the Brothers Grimm. In this fairytale, the frog turns into a radiant prince. But this only happens after the princess, on her father the king's orders, has given the frog food from her plate and warmed him in her bed. The frog is an animal which lives partly on land and partly in water. It indicates a transitionary phase in the process of evolution of living things, and is in this respect a symbol of change or transformation. The frog's life in water refers to cold and still impersonal elemental nature. The fairytale tells us allegorically that this impersonal side of nature, which also plays a role in sexuality, can only be elevated into the sphere of an acceptable human relationship by spiritual nourishment and by being firmly embedded in human emotions.
    The toad is the symbol of the fertile, devouring mother-goddess, who is also the mother of death. A toad in a man's dream can, therefore, be seen as a warning signal.

  • Fountain, spring
    In myths and fairytales, fountains and springs symbolize the origin of life. Stemming from the belief that it is womankind which continually renews life by childbirth, the fountain has acquired the symbolic meaning of the fountain of life.
