To dream of nuts denotes riches and happiness; to the lover, success; if you are gathering them, it is a good omen; but if you crack them, unfavorable.

Original source (English)
To dream you see clusters of them denotes riches and happiness. To the lover, success and a good-tempered sweetheart. If you are gathering them, it is not a good omen, for you will pursue some matter that will not turn out to your advantage. If you crack them, the person who courts you, or to whom you pay your addresses, will treat you with indifference, or be very unfaithful.
