Grape Dream Explanation — Black grapes during the right season symbolize fear and disease; otherwise they mean trouble and worries. They are also a harbinger of cold weather. Grapes were believed by the ancient Arabs to be harmful. They also thought that no benefit could be derived from the black color and hated black grapes in any case. Among other things, they argued that the grape was originally white, placed near the son of Nuh  (Noah). When his father cursed him, it suddenly turned black. Certain dream interpreters felt that the black grape meant nothing but money that will not last. Separate from the bunch, it symbolized extreme fear or chills. Others regarded the black grape as a not so bad dream, in view of a verse in the Holy Quran: “And of the fruits of the date-palm, and grapes, whence ye derive strong drink and  (also) good nourishment. Lo! therein, is indeed a portent for people who have sense.”  (“Al-Nahl” [The Bees], verse 67.) They also thought so because the Prophet Zakareyyah  (Zacharia) used to find it at Mariam’s  (Mary’s) place. Dream Interpreter: Various Islamic Scholars
