The first dream I ever wrote in my journal was about tomatoes. In that dream, I was eating some tomatoes that I had just harvested. Besides that, I have had numerous tomato dreams. Also, I have had people send emails about similar dreams.
Dreams that involve farm produce like tomatoes (fresh, rotten, buying, harvesting, etc.) or any form of food usually have their meanings revolving around the dreamer’s finances, spiritual life and warfare, childbearing state, state of character, state of temperance, divine favor, etc.
We have exhaustively curated this guide with experience from my dreams, other people’s dreams, and inspiration from the Bible and our steadfast God. However, you can drop your dream in the comment box if you seek a custom interpretation.
Biblical Meaning Of Tomatoes In Dream
Prosperity
Dreams about tomatoes (ripe, picking, or harvesting) reveal you are about to experience a financial upliftment in your life. You will either receive a promotion at your workplace or discover a line of business online or offline that will change your financial state.
Proverb 6:6-8 6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer, or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.
Tomato is a very versatile fruit that can be eaten raw, pureed into sauces, a star in salads, and many more. However, tomatoes are very fragile goods and can easily get destroyed or rotten if not well taken care of.
This will be the state of your finances. All these tough times you faced were to help develop the character that will sustain wealth when it comes. However, if you don’t learn anything from all you have been through so far, you will lose the wealth that is coming.
Seasonality of prayers and answers
“To everything, there is a season, a time for every purpose under heaven” (Eccl. 3:10 NKJV).
When you pray and make requests to God about things that are not going right in your life, you should understand that God will answer your prayers per his will for your life at every point in time, as tomato dreams portend.
Most of us put our faith in miracles or answers to our prayers, but miracles are temporal acts of God. This is the same mistake we make in our relationships: we put our faith in people, thereby increasing our expectations of them. When these people don’t act according to our expectations, we then give up on them.
You should have a deeper relationship with God, which has layers beyond your impulses and expectations. Our relationship with God should be based on our love for him. This love is what will make you seek his will when you pray, and this love is also what will make you submit in obedience.
Once you can live according to his will, you will experience total peace, which is not bordered on what you have or not but around the confidence and trust you have in God through all seasons of life.
Unity
Seeing tomatoes in dreams implores you to embrace and encourage unity by all means. Lack of unity in your family, relationship, or random acquaintances will serve as a broken fence—to drain your peace and, in turn, drain your finances and cause rejection in your life by the devil.
A family where there is constant disagreement never utilizes their full potential. The devil will purposely keep your mind busy by reminding you of all the negative things your significant other, parents, or children have done to you—fueling your anger and ego for your destruction.
Temperance
Green and red tomatoes in the dream reveal that the dreamer should take control over their temperament. If you can’t control your behavior when you are angry or excited, you will keep making lots of mistakes.
When you are happy, avoid making promises or commitments; always ensure to extensively think things through before committing. The same applies to when you are angry. Withhold your words and limit your actions so you won’t say or do things you’ll regret.
Fruit of the womb
If you have been believing God to bless your womb with children, seeing tomatoes in your dream is a confirmation that your prayers have just been answered. Do not be dismayed; your little angels from God are en route.
Spiritual state
Seeing only green tomatoes in the dream reveals that you are not making enough effort to grow spiritually. Seeing only red tomatoes in the dreams indicates that the dreamer is living in a way that pleases God and is taking strides to develop spiritually.
Sinning is our human nature and doesn’t necessarily define our spiritual growth (Zachariah 3). Although the closer you get to God, the less appealing certain things will be to you, our spiritual growth is primarily defined by how much we fulfill our earthly assignments.
Suppose you have been called to envangelize—putting in efforts to study so as to answer the questions that will be thrown at you. Or when you pray and fast before you go out to envangelize so as to offer solutions to people’s problems, you are making strides that excite heaven (Luke 15:7).
Fulfill your spiritual assignments and watch how things will happen in your life.
Dream of green tomatoes
A green tomato in a dream reveals a lack of spiritual and emotional imaturity, the presence of confusion and indecision, and a lack of preparation for the next level of your life.
Buying fresh tomatoes in the dream
Buying fresh tomatoes is a call to become industrous, seek out opportunities, and never settle for mediocrity. It also indicates the need for a career path or that the person you are currently courting is not your wife or husband.

Eating tomatoes in the dream represents the need to lead a healthy lifestyle—watching what goes into your mouth and taking care of your entire body and appearance so as to prevent battling lots of disease when you get old or rejection due to your appearance.
Dream of harvesting tomatoes
Harvesting tomatoes in the dream reveals a financial surge that will take you by surprise. It also reveals the unique calling to envangelize and fish for men into the body of Christ.

Opportunities are littered around you, but you are hesitating or lack the knowledge or foresight to take advantage of the opportunities. This may cause you to stay at one point in life for many years.

This dream reveals you have a stinking attitude toward work or people, and there are numerous illnesses developing in your body that you are not efficiently tackling. It also reveals a poor state of your spiritual being.
