What Does It Mean to Dream About Acorn?

To dream of an acorn represents feelings about potentiality and expectation for possibilities of growth over time. An small opportunity for longevity, stability, strength that will take time to establish in your life. A strong long-term investment in an established future that doesn't seem that way in the present moment.

Negatively, dreaming about an acorn may represent feelings about potentiality and expectations for growth over time that is waste of your time. Feelings about being laughed at for believing in a strong long-term investment because it takes too long to be worth anything in the present moment. Being naive about the patience required for a strong and secure long-term investment.

Example: A man dreamed of being at a doctor's office having an acorn removed from his ear. In waking life, he was filing for bankruptcy while being paid less than minimum wage in order to qualify for his plumber's license. He had three months left to becoming a license plumber. In this case, the acorn being removed from his ear may have reflected his feelings about reversing himself about listening to the idea that working for less than minimum wage to get more hours to earn his plumbers license quicker was a good long-term investment in his future.

Acorns are great symbols to dream about because they represent your strength and your ability to grow on your own. In fact in the Nordic and Celtic mythology it represents fertility and immortality. The god Thor’s Life Tree was an oak and the word Druid can be translated as “Oak Knowledge”; see tree dreams.
