Islamic Interpretation
Eating the bitter, apple-like fruit of the medlar tree or similar varieties—whether used for preserves, or consumed yellow, spoiled, or unripe—in a dream signifies illness. The more yellow the fruit appears in the dream, the more intense the pain and hardship associated with that sickness. Eating a green medlar fruit in a dream carries no such threat or harm. In general, consuming yellowish fruits in dreams points to illness, with the exception of citron, apples, and lotus fruit, whose yellow color does not indicate harm, as their substance is considered medicinal and beneficial.
