A fenced orchard

The image of an orchard that has been circled or closed off by a fence, whether it is a traditional white picket fence or something more modern and sturdy, may reveal the presence of envious personalities or vicious rivals who seek to do you and your reputation harm. These individuals would do all in their power to wreak havoc and cause trouble for you in reality, making you waste time trying to put out the fires they so gleefully start. You may consider this vision a warning to be on your guard and avoid getting in the way of their mischievous nature.

Cutting an orchard clear

The act of cutting down the trees in an orchard with the intent to clear it all could have two possible interpretations, depending on your situation in reality and the other symbols in the vision. Some meanings associated with this symbol connect it to the idea of losing money and status, suggesting you would go through a rough patch or face homelessness and poverty. In this case, you may have trouble meeting your basic needs for food, shelter and clothing due to a difficult financial situation. The other possible outcome is to suddenly become wealthy through an unexpected, surprising source. You may win the lottery or suddenly receive an inheritance from a relative who passed away recently.

Skipping visiting an orchard

Walking or moving past an orchard and choosing not to go inside for some reason is a fairly negative symbol to perceive in a dream vision. It predicts becoming entangled in a conflict or battle of wits with someone close to you, like a family member, friend or co-worker. Another possible meaning connected to this image suggests an opponent or jealous friend could reveal themselves to you soon, either as a business competitor or a rival for the affection of a common love interest.

An abandoned orchard

An orchard that has been completely abandoned and left to grow amuck may be the symbolic manifestation of concerns related to aging and becoming a senior citizen. While you may not be old yet, you likely worry about the physical, mental and emotional problems associated with advanced age. This is particularly true if you are a single person or have recently separated from a significant other. Another possible interpretation of this same image suggests you may regret or be worried about past words and actions, especially if the consequences were severe or affected someone else.

An orchard on a hill

Envisioning an orchard that is located on a steep hill or at a higher elevation than the surrounding land is often thought to reveal an upcoming romantic tryst in reality. You would soon meet someone special and fall deeply, irrevocably in love, losing yourself in the swell of emotions and the heat of the moment. Even if things do not last forever, you would fondly look back on the time and love you shared together with happiness and nostalgia, remembering it when you need to feel uplifted and loved.

A cherry tree orchard

An orchard filled with ripe cherries is symbolic of the family unit and familial relations. For large, close knit families, this image may represent the deep bonds you share with those who love you most. For those who are separated or divorced from family members may reveal an internal desire to be connected to someone or to start your own family. You may feel being intimate with someone on this level would bring happiness, contentment and peace to your wake life.

A blooming orchard

An orchard in full bloom is an auspicious symbol connected to relationships and interpersonal connections. If you were walking through the orchard with someone, your feelings for each other could grow and deepen, leading to a fuller understanding and acceptance of the other. Marriage may be an outcome if it is not already the case. Walking alone may be an indication of the growth of emotion for someone else, although it does not offer any glimpse into their feelings.

An orchard with ripe fruits

A large orchard filled with ripe, delicious fruit means you would soon be rewarded for your years of friendship, service and kindness towards others. In a sense, the seeds of compassion you offered others would bear fruit, blessing you with happiness and possibly material possessions as well. In some cases, this same symbol is seen in conjunction with prosperity in business or with those who rise through the ranks of their place of work, another symbol of being recognized for past work or results. For women who are married, the image of fruit-bearing trees in an orchard predicts a happy home life, complete with an adoring husband and bright, thoughtful offspring.

An orchard in general

The image of an orchard as a general place or idea in the dream world is a neutral symbol connected with the dreamer's perception of their life or current life style. The condition or appearance of the orchard directly reflects aspects of the dreamer's reality. For example, a neatly manicured and carefully tended orchard may reflect conscious efforts to improve the self or be a responsible individual, while an abandoned or overgrown orchard may suggest a lack of discipline or chaos. In most cases, this dream symbol would need to be interpreted based on the context of the vision itself, taking into consideration other symbols and overall mood of the dream.

An orchard keeper

Meeting the groundskeeper of a large, productive orchard represents meeting someone in reality who would add value or be useful for you in the near future. A relationship with this individual could lead you to a lucrative chance or a special opportunity. In particular, talking to or helping the groundskeeper during the course of the vision could point directly towards meeting your soulmate or a mentor who would help you achieve your full potential in life.

An autumn orchard

Seeing the yellow, gold, red and brown leaves of an orchard in the autumn season could be the manifestation of your reality. You may be about to end a certain period of time in your life, either a period of growth like childhood or middle age, a course you were taking or a dedication of time and effort like a profession or hobby. In some cases, this same image is associated with the end of long-term relationships or loves, although whether or not this is because you want to be free or because your partner is moving on without you is unclear.

Pigs in the orchard

The image of pigs foraging or picking through fruit that has fallen to the ground in an orchard contains a fairly literal interpretation. It predicts loss of money, property or valuables due to the interference or outright lies. Those who you thought were your friends may actually be unworthy of your trust and confidence. They may be trying to take what is rightfully yours or simply ruin your happiness for their own enjoyment.

Planting an orchard

The act of planting an orchard in the dream world, whether you had just begun or were close to finishing, sheds light on your mental state and personality. It suggests you tend to daydream about the possible future or make wild, ambitious plans that could never come to fruition. While this may seem harmless, the real meaning behind this vision suggests that by indulging time and thought into these unlikely scenarios, you are taking time away from real productive efforts that could help you achieve your true potential or a more reasonable goal.

Pruning trees in an orchard

Taking your time to carefully prune back the branches of trees in an orchard is a symbol that means you would soon be able to outwit or get ahead of your competitors or rivals in reality. You would have the knowledge, experience and foresight to guess what antics they would get up to before they actually do it. You would be able to mitigate any damage before it happens or avoid any negative consequences.

Harvesting fruits in an orchard

Envisioning yourself walking through an orchard ripe with fruit and picking some from the branches of a tree is a highly positive and auspicious symbol to behold in a dream vision. It is closely connected to the ideas of financial wealth, material possessions and prosperity in reality. You are likely to come into a large sum of money, valuable possessions or simply find a lucrative source of income to provide a comfortable, satisfying life for you and your loved ones. Other possible interpretations link this image with the fruit of your compassion and patience with others. In this case, you would soon learn that those who work alongside you greatly admire and respect you.

An orchard with no fruits

Envisioning yourself in a vast orchard but noticing that none of the trees are bearing fruit is often thought to predict the beginning of the end, usually for a career you have dedicated yourself to for a long time or a hobby you have spent many years practicing. Just as the soil of an over-worked field becomes barren so does this image suggest you have given all your could and have received as much as you can from the time and effort you have put in. No matter how much you try to deny the facts, you would never be able to climb any higher or reap any more benefits from this activity.

An orchard with leafless trees

An orchard filled with leafless trees, as though it were winter or the end of autumn, could be the manifestation of current lifestyle choices or how you feel about your current existence. It suggests you are unworried about the future and are content to live an uncomplicated, simple life unburdened by the troubles or concerns that plague most others.

A hurricane impacting an orchard

Imagining a hurricane destroying an orchard during the course of a dream vision, whether the wind and rain were just kicking up debris or flattening the trees completely, could portend soon being visited by someone you would rather not see or spend an extended period of time with. This individual would sweep into and disrupt your usual schedule, causing you added trouble and headaches to keep them happy and satisfied. You may need to complete extra chores you were not planning to do or run errands that are out of your way to please this individual.

Walking through an orchard

Walking through and enjoying an orchard on a nice day may reveal upcoming success and satisfaction in reality. It suggests you are someone who makes careful calculations to get exactly what you want out of life. Every step and maneuver is taken with your final goal in mind. In particular, if you noticed you were gathering fruit from the trees or flowers from the ground, you may receive a happy surprise in the near future. This could be directly related to your efforts in reality or simply a coincidence.

Walking toward an orchard

Envisioning yourself walking in the general direction of a large orchard may reveal an upcoming situation where you would be helped by someone in reality. Although the exact situation could be revealed through other symbols, by itself this image suggests you would be suffering some setbacks and could be falling victim to self-doubt and apprehension. This individual would soothe your fears and give you the confidence to overcome whatever is bothering you. Likely, this person is a kind friend or family member whom you can always rely on when you need them most.

An orchard with evergreen plants

An orchard filled with evergreen trees or lush shrubbery is a positive symbol to behold in a dream vision. It predicts peace and prosperity for you in wake life, suggesting your future would be filled with little conflict or worry. Your truest, most loyal companions would be by your side, and you would be blessed by the kindness and generosity of those you care about most.

An orchard with vegetables

Dreaming of a situation where you see vegetables growing from a tree instead of the normal fruit is a highly ominous symbol to perceive in the realm of dreams. While fruit in an orchard suggests wealth and prosperity, vegetables indicate poverty, ruin and destitution. In some cases, this symbol even means the dreamer would become the victim of vicious, untrue rumors. However, the exception to this vision is married women who, if they see this image, would have a happy, satisfying marriage to their significant other.

An orchard with specific fruits

Specific types of orchards can reveal different things in the dream world. For instance, an orchard filled with apple trees may portend a happy reunion with a friend or family member you have not met for a long time. Cherry, plum or pear orchards are sometimes associated with age and maturity in reality, suggesting the dreamer is either approaching middle age or has recently grown into a more mature, reasonable individual.

Climbing trees in an orchard

Climbing the tall, fruit-bearing trees of an orchard may shed light on your sensitive nature as an individual. You probably tend to feel out of place in large groups or around certain, more abrasive individuals in your group of friends. When faced with a conflict or problem, you are more likely to shrink away than assert yourself. This could be an impediment to your progress and success, especially when it comes to communicating with others like society would expect. Unless you work on your people skills, you may not be able to achieve your full potential.

A gazebo inside an orchard

Enjoying a relaxing time in a gazebo that looks out on a large orchard is a fairly positive symbol to behold in the dream realm. It portends upcoming periods marked by happiness and anticipation. You would probably attend some party, event or gala with those you like to hang out with, particularly family and friends. Being together on a special occasion would lift your spirits and make your heart soar.

A greenhouse in an orchard

A greenhouse in the middle of an orchard may represent becoming the victim of humiliating rumors or hurtful gossip. In this case, the trees of the orchard represent the growth of those comments and ideas while you are set apart in the glass house. You can see the damage being done but are unable to fix it or make it stop. However, the flip side is that it would become apparent who your true friends are and who has been lurking in the shadows with the intent of destroying your faultless reputation.

An orchard shedding leaves

Watching leaves fall from the branches of orchard trees as though it were autumn is a fairly ominous symbol in the world of dreams. It may represent future disappointments in your work or home life, or it can point toward fights with those you see on a daily basis, like co-workers or family members. This situation could cause a lot of stress and unhappiness in reality.

Getting lost in an orchard

Getting lost in a large orchard with winding paths may predict coming to a crossroad in reality, both physical and metaphorical. There is an important choice you need to make that would affect your life greatly for the coming years or months. You would need to use the time before this decision comes in order to consider both possible outcomes and how each would lead you to what you want out of life.
