Vegetables
To dream of vegetables may represent feelings about the quality of an experience or choice being beneficial without having to feel good about it. Feeling that something is beneficial without pleasure or enjoying it too much. Healthy choices without the need for fun. An experience or choice that is more concerned with responsibility and personal growth than enjoyment.
Negatively, vegetables may represent feelings about being forced to do things that are beneficial but don't feel good. Behavior that doesn't want other people to enjoy themselves doing anything that feels emotionally dangerous. Strict behavior that wants responsibility, personal growth, and healthy habits before feeling good is allowed.
To dream of withering vegetables represents a feeling that a natural path or adhering to basic needs is impotent. Ideas that encourage excitement, pleasure, or feeling good are dominating.
Consider specific individual vegetables for additional meaning. See the food themes section for more on vegetable symbolism.
Example: A woman dreamed of repeatedly trying to feed people vegetables. In waking life, she was aware of herself constantly rejecting her children's requests for a new toy being sold in stores. In this case, the vegetables may have reflected her feelings about encouraging responsibility and healthy values in her children by denying them the new toy or encouraging them to save up to purchase the new toy themself.
Example 2: A young man dreamed that he was a vegetable. In waking life, he felt that his jealous friends were enjoying seeing him never feeling good having a girlfriend. He felt that they wanted him to be a boring ugly person that girls didn't like by interfering with his chances to get a girlfriend. In this case, being a vegetable may have reflected his feelings about himself being treated like a boring friend by his friends who wanted his support when things got difficult without wanting to have any fun with him.
