About
Juniper
To dream of seeing a juniper tree, portends happiness and wealth out of sorrow and depressed conditions. For a young woman, this dreams omens a bright future after disappointing love affairs. To the sick, this is an augury of speedy recovery.
To eat, or gather, the berries of a juniper tree, foretells trouble and sickness.
