Dreaming of seeing or eating peaches, implies the sickness of children, disappointing returns in business, and failure to make anticipated visits of pleasure; but if you see them on trees with foliage, you will secure some desired position or thing after much striving and risking of health and money.
To see dried peaches, denotes that enemies will steal from you.
For a young woman to dream of gathering luscious peaches from well-filled trees, she will, by her personal charms and qualifications, win a husband rich in worldly goods and wise in travel. If the peaches prove to be green and knotty, she will meet with unkindness from relatives and ill health will steal away her attractions. See Orchard.

To dream of fine, ripe, yellow peaches, denotes that you will get just so much yellow gold, which makes this dream a splendid one for gold-diggers: if the peaches you dream about are very red, or look small and wilted, it shows that your gold will turn out to be about half copper, or that your luck will not amount to much.
