Dreaming of potatoes, brings incidents often of good.
To dream of digging them, denotes success.
To dream of eating them, you will enjoy substantial gain.
To cook them, congenial employment.
Planting them, brings realization of desires.
To see them rotting, denotes vanished pleasure and a darkening future.
