Cherries

[Seiko]

What does it mean to dream of picking cherries from a tree? Avoiding to pick any that had some flaw, even though all of them looked delicious... the last one picked was larger and of a deeper red color than the others. Then, giving half of the cherries to a friend? Please help^_^

Cherries can refer to the saying “life is just a bowl of cherries” – meaning life is very enjoyable, full of pleasant things. Seeing cherries reflecting this saying, the dream can be saying the following:

Picking cherries from a tree can imply that in your mind you have a source of knowledge (which could be psychological or spiritual) from which you are choosing your food for thought – choosing the idea that life is very pleasurable. You try to avoid the idea that there may be a flaw or error in this way of thinking. The idea itself seems very desirable. (they all look delicious)

Last, but perhaps not least, you might also choose the idea that life is very pleasurable with stronger feelings such as anger (a deeper red)applying to it and see this way of thinking about life as carrying more weight or influence. As only one larger, deeper red cherry is picked this version of how life is regarded appears to be a positive version. You are giving yourself the idea of life being pleasurable in a way that reflects positive thinking but it is positive only in a negative context. (giving half to the friend is giving 1 part of 2 as ½ means 1 out of 2) [Are you being perfectly honest with yourself when holding this very positive attitude about life? Is the idea that life is pleasurable the truth for you right now?]

Thank you very much for your reply. I might have something to think about for a while now... You have great insight, I see. Indeed I do enjoy life, it is very pleasurable, while having some misfortune now and then is in my opinion what proves the existence of happiness. My way of thinking and what I define as reality differs somewhat from the people around me... So sometimes I wonder if I´m not fooling myself. But I always choose to believe in what I want. Because it doesn´t matter if I´m wrong... If it turned out to be that way, I wonder if anything would matter at all? Perhaps that would only prove the importance of the dreams that I won´t stop loving, no matter what. Shattered or not. And that, too, is fine, since I am already pretty much content with life.

Hi,
Cherries mean money and a tree means a rich person,
So means earning or receiving some money from a person and granting or lending some to a friend.

Good luck.
