Apple

The apple is one of the most over-determined symbols in the Western dream vocabulary. In the Judeo-Christian imagination it is the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil — a sweet that makes the dreamer culpable. In Celtic tradition the apple is the fruit of Avalon, given by women of the otherworld to heroes passing between realms. Greek myth contributes the golden apple of discord. The apple’s roundness and redness also make it a classic image of the feminine — desire made tangible, fertility in a hand’s grip. Notice in your dream whether the apple is offered, refused, eaten, or hidden. Each of these small actions is a small story about your relationship to pleasure, knowledge, or a partner.
