In a dream, a sweet tasting bunch of grapes means receiving benefits through a relative or a close friend. If the grapes taste sour in the dream, then they mean regret. Grapes in a dream also represent money, profits, earnings, a growing capital, savings or a needed capital to support a business venture. Seeing grapes in season in a dream means material gains, and out of season, they mean quick profits or unlawful earnings. Picking a bunch of grapes in a dream means receiving money from a woman. Black grapes in a dream represent the night and white grapes represent the daylight. Black grapes in a dream has little benefit in wakefulness and may represent money that does not last. White grapes in a dream represent recovering from an illness, for the prophet Noah (uwbp) was once inflicted with tuberculosis and God Almighty inspired him in a dream to eat white grapes and by God's leave they brought about his recovery. Grapes hanging on a grapevine in a dream denote fear. Extracting the seeds and throwing away the pulp in a dream means an argument with one's wife that will end in regret. Seeing grapes in season in a dream could mean distress and out of season they mean a sickness. Seeing grapes in season in a dream also could mean success associated with women, love, tenderness and compassion. Eating grapes in a dream also means drinking wine. (Also see Tuberculosis; Wine)
Al-Bakri Al-Qafsi
If the grapes are white, then they signify ample provision andgoodness and a good yield, if they are seen in season. If they are eatenin season, this provision will be hastened before the time when he wasexpecting it. If the grapes are black, they are also indicative of provision,but it will not last. One of them said: In season, they signify worry and out of season,they signify sickness. He said: If he sees them at the door of the ruler,there is the fear that he will be flogged. Someone else said: Black grapes are not something to worry about,just as there is no reason to worry if white grapes are seen, because Allah called it provision. The correct view is that it depends on what is usual, as stated abovewith regard to figs. They may be indicative of rain, because the word'Inab (grapes) may be misread as Ghayth (rain). If he picks a bunch ofgrapes, he will get some accumulated wealth from his wife, becausethe grape signifies a woman. Picking some grapes from it is indicativeof inheritance. If he picks up one grape and throws it, he will have anargument with his wife and will have some problems. If he dreamsthat he presses the grapes and turns them into alcohol, he will gaina fortune from a ruler and Haraam wealth, based on the story of theservant [whose dream Yoosuf interpreted for him in the prison].
