Dreaming of eating peas, augurs robust health and the accumulation of wealth. Much activity is indicated for farmers and their women folks.
To see them growing, denotes fortunate enterprises.
To plant them, denotes that your hopes are well grounded and they will be realized.
To gather them, signifies that your plans will culminate in good and you will enjoy the fruits of your labors.
To dream of canned peas, denotes that your brightest hopes will be enthralled in uncertainties for a short season, but they will finally be released by fortune.
To see dried peas, denotes that you are overtaxing your health.
To eat dried peas, foretells that you will, after much success, suffer a slight decrease in pleasure or wealth.

To dream of eating green peas, is a sign of health; and if you imagine that you eat crooked dry peas, it foretells both health and thrift. If you dream of feeding any animal with dry peas, it foreshadows good luck.
