To dream of seeing a bed of radishes growing, is an omen of good luck. Your friends will be unusually kind, and your business will prosper.
If you eat them, you will suffer slightly through the thoughtlessness of some one near to you.
To see radishes, or plant them, denotes that your anticipations will be happily realized.

To dream of this vegetable, signifies that a secret will be discovered, which will occasion a muss in the family. To a girl, it is a sign she will lose her beau, and to a lover, it foreshadows he will be “cut out” by some other nice young man.
