Pumpkin Seeds Symbolize...

9/14/2014

Pumpkin lattes. Pumpkin muffins and pumpkin bread. Pumpkin donuts and pumpkin butter. Pumpkin spice soup. I know I am missing a lot on this list but these are just some of the pumpkin flavored foods I have seen or made (or consumed!) within the past 24 hours. It is beginning to be that season and pumpkin is everywhere!

Symbolically, pumpkins represent abundance. Some people write that pumpkins used to be symbolic of the whole world. Big and round, they have plenty of space inside to hold everything. (Very much like how Aum represents every sound in the Universe. ) And the plethora of seeds means plenty. The seeds themselves represent dreams. I would love to know how many people have actually had a dream about pumpkin seeds, but anything is possible!!! The point is, we may each have a lot of dreams but, if we do not plant and nurture them, they will not manifest into reality and will simply stay in dream form.

In Chinese culture, pumpkins represent "prosperity, abundance, descendant's luck, illustrious children, enchantment, fruit draws earth energy to manifest gold." (nationsonline.org)

Or, in the fairy tale Cinderella, Cinderella's dream is to go to the ball. Her fairy godmother turns a pumpkin (a full grown seed of dreams, if you will) into a carriage. The pumpkin literally becomes the vehicle in which to allow Cinderella to have her dream come true.

Now, dreaming about a pumpkin can mean all these great things: abundance and worldly wisdom. But, as in Cinderella, the carriage turns back into a pumpkin at midnight, which could be a sign to you that time has run out regarding a certain situation.

Of course, the most important aspect of all the pumpkin lattes and muffins and pies just may be to enjoy them. Stay present, savor every bite.

“Produce great pumpkins, the pies will follow later.”

I found one pumpkin seed on my husband's side of the bed this morning. Astounded by the symbolism explained here! How would you interpret this seed's message? My husband wanted to just toss the seed.Thank you.

Seeds in general represent potential. I am kind of laughing he found it in bed because they also represent conception! I never take random findings such as a pumpkin seed in the bed (unless he was eating them there the night before, lol) as something to brush off. I see them as signs from guides or angels. If your husband is facing a new project or considering one, I would take the seed as a very good sign of the potential outcome:)

Sandra- Thanks so much for your reply, we appreciate your insights. I am 62, so hopefully conception is not the seed's message... :) BUT Bob has been working on a project for 3 years and it does seem to be coming to fruition, at last! We do not eat in bed so this seed was not from a late night snack. I do believe this is a sign.

I know this thread is very old but the only thing close to what i tried to research. My dad passed away 6 weeks ago and last night he was in my dream extremely happy and throwing seeds in our garden and they were falling on me and sticking to me in my dream. I awoke today and found a seed in my bed and didnt eat any, and cant understand how it got there, then i suddenly recalled my dream! WTF?!?! Mind blown! Help

Last night I dreamt of pumpkin seeds covering my body. I am trying to fall pregnant and I have a business idea. So not sure which one it applies too. Many as there many seeds many that means both. Lol. I have never had a seed dream before it was interesting.

8/20/2016 05:27:51 pm

So glad you shared but am even more thrilled you are paying attention to the messages in your dreams! Interesting you used the words "fall pregnant" rather than "get pregnant". Pumpkin seeds being associated with the season fall may be another hopeful indicator that that is the timing to expect answers or, at least a path, towards one of those endeavors! You might try carrying (or wearing) moonstone as it helps with fertility:)

I would like to earn more about this. I recently dreamt that I had pumpkin seeds growing in my face.. Namely on my cheeks. It was quite a traumatic dream and so I started to research what this means.

If anyone has any insights, please comet here.

Thanks in advance

OMG!!! I had a dream last night that I was extracting pumpkin seeds from my scalp and it was distressing during the dream and both disgusting and traumatizing upon waking!!! I felt a little better to see your post so similar to mine. I have to say that I have no clue what it could represent.

I had the exact same dream! I can’t believe i’m not the only one.

I dreamt i had raw pumpkin seeds that are of black color growing on the right side of my face near the hairline and ears because i haven’t been giving it attention when i do my skincare. It was so disgusting and i am still traumatized until now. I never want to see pumpkin seeds again!

I wonder what does this mean though.

9/2/2016 12:58:04 pm

Hey Sophie- What about your dream seemed traumatic? Let's break this down in two different ways.... pumpkin seeds represent abundance, wisdom, dreams. Your cheeks correlate to the throat chakra, which is one of the seven main energy centers. When the throat chakra is out of balance, it, emotionally, relates to communication. Are you saying what you want to or are you holding back? Why are you holding back? Are you talking too much? Are you hearing what people are saying to you? Do you feel heard? So, the first answer that comes to my mind is (and no pun intended here though I just made myself laugh!), are you squashing your dreams? Is there something you really want to do but for some reason are not voicing it or giving yourself credit for being able to do it? Your inner voice/intuition is your core sense of wisdom. (Remember the seed relates to wisdom). When we ignore that voice, that inner truth, we are squelching our own wisdom. I wonder if this rings at all true with you? If you are afraid to follow a dream, that would explain why the dream seemed scary; change instigates fear and both are scary. But, always keep in mind, fear is temporary. By following your heart, you receive abundantly, which is also a reference to the symbolism of the seed.

Hi Sandra & thanks gory our interpretation.

I have suffered from terrible acne the last few months so I think the seeds in my face have something to do with this complex.

I do believe and see that the seeds represent new growth and are positive symbol in dreams.

In saying this, I did feel like pulling them off.. Lol

It was a strange dream but ok

Taking the good ☺️

Someone just hand me a hand full of pumpkin seeds from a pumpkin...some say it means lucky..some says it means money ...what is the true meaning

10/30/2016 06:51:39 pm

Luck or wealth? Why does it have to be either or?! Both are about abundance, which can come to you in a myriad of ways. My November newsletter comes out soon and in it my featured quote is: "I'm not sure where it came from but I'm very happy." Marlon Harewood
The important aspect of the pumpkin seeds is more about being grateful and open to receiving whatever abundance comes your way (be it luck, money, friendship, love, patience, etc)...and "lucky" for you, it sounds like you will have a handful!

I dream of seed of pumpkin. I put in the ground dirt and I see out the leaf growing.

11/12/2016 05:08:24 am

Claudia- That is awesome! I interpret that as a hope or dream of yours starting to come true, to manifest. What are the dreams, goals, wishes you have been putting out there? Nurture yourself, thereby nurturing this leaf and this plant that is just beginning to form; envision how large pumpkin plants become and start expressing gratitude now for the abundance that is headed your way!

Well...I did. While laying here ona couch at my friends house...I'm awake, but when i closed my eyes, I had a quick vision of a pile of green and orange pumpkin seeds. I saw them, then I opened my eyes. I'm a seer by the way...so stuff like this happens occasionally.

My master gave 5 pumpkin seed that i should plant 3 for her then 2 for myself in my dream what could it mean?

6/30/2017 03:24:37 pm

I take it as a reminder that what we put out "there" (to the Universe, to others, etc) plants the seeds for what comes back to us. I also see it as a reminder to be grateful for what we have. Is something occurring in your life right now that you are wanting more and more of, failing to be grateful for that which you do have? Is there a lesson in recognizing we do not have to have all five seeds to be happy?

I had a dream last night. that was quite traumatic. My right hip was leaking these huge pumpkin seeds (they were giant compared to their real life size). The dream started with me squeezing them out. It was almost like an open wound; my flesh was like that of the inside of a pumpkin (the stringy-ness) but, human flesh. So the seeds were being squeezed out of skin, no bleed though. No one knew why or how. It was so painful and weird. I didn’t stop squeezing and they just kept coming so then I went to the doctor and they couldn’t even figure it out. They tried squeezing them out too. I ended up back at home and the seeds started falling out on their own and before long I had jars full of them. I ended up having to have surgery in the dream for this but, woke up before that happened.

I had a dream last night where three pumpkin seeds were lodged in my nose. To the seats came out rather easily and the last seed had to be removed with my fingers. What's the deal?

2/8/2018 12:44:19 pm

If you interpret the seeds as the planting of new goals and aspirations, it sounds like some of your new ideas will manifest quite easily. But one of them will take work on your part before it comes to fruition. If it is something you really want, stay the path:)

My sister & I were always very close; we shared a room/bed growing up. Later we were in business together. We were also molested together by our sick disgusting uncle from early childhood to mid teens, but our parents didn't believe us when we told them, even tho my mom had to take me to the Dr when I was 3 after his 'attack' (he was 17).
We were typical children of early childhood abuse. We got into drugs, alcohol. My sister miraculously walked away from 2 car accidents where her vehicle was totaled while she drove drunk before she was 18, but in our small town where everyone knew us, they called my Mom to come get her, no questions asked.

Years went by.. I went to college & my sister got married & had 2 children, a girl then a boy.. She was VERY happy to be a Mommy, & was super protective of her children particularly when sick uncle came around; unlike her own Mom she'd NEVER let him put a finger on her Babies.. But she was going thru all the PTSD 14 years of heavy molestation causes. She had episodes. When her husband was caught having sex with our step sister (& others) she broke. My sister died at age 33 in an accident, driving in a rage related to this pain, in 1992.

The night she died, she had called me before I got home about her sick dog (we didn't have cells yet). He was dying based on her message. She was driving him to the closest all night vet which was nearer to my home. She died in a car crash that didn't seriously hurt anyone else but her dog, who also perished. The police got my name & # after calling her kids Day Care provider after finding a receipt in her car; I was listed as a Emergency Contact. The cops asked me who could have been in the back seat with her but didn't tell me ANYTHING about a wreck, her condition, etc. They said they'd get someone to talk to me asap. About midnight.. By 1a.m. I'd heard nothing & was losing it. I told Highway Patrol I was driving to her house (45mins away) if they didn't tell me what hospital or jail she was in. They said give them 30 minutes.. These were the longest 30 minutes of my life.

I can't say for sure if it was 30 minute's or more or less, but around 2am there was a knock at the door. It was a fully robed Priest .. I asked him "is she gone?" & he only said "Yes". It was like an atomic punch to the gut. He offered comfort I could not receive & left..

My sister & I had had seances, played with Ouiji boards & such; we always imagined if either of us died, we'd surely communicate beyond the grave.. But there was nothing but silence for 3+ years.

In 1995, I finally saw my sister! My husband & I were in a battle with her ex for custody of the kids after their paternal grandmother asked us if we'd take them, now 6 & 8. Her ex was a whore & didn't want to be a parent. With him it was all about how much $$ he would he get each month for the kids who lived with us 5 States away..

To my surprise & dissapointment sissy had still been silent.. But then one morning I woke up after having a crystal clear dream. My sister had come to me bearing a bundle in a blue blanket. Oddly, I was at an airport with her children sitting by my feet. My sister had recently been asked out by a fine single gentleman who was on the board for our local airport commission; he had asked her ex for permission to date her. They were starting a relationship that I believe would have led to marriage. Ex didn't care. But that dream! It was so crystal clear.. Unlike most dreams, which are foggy,, I remembered EVERYTHING. There was no dialouge just the actions of the silent children at my feet while she handed me what appeared to be a baby straddled in blue.. The dream was so crystal clear I called Mom right away & told her everything
At 41 after 4 years of marriage & still childless, I NEVER thought the child was a baby for me, but that we'd won the custody battle. Which we did. But there was more.

About 2 months+ later I began to feel sick, & went to Dr.. He said symptoms were typical for someone in my condition. "what condition is that" I asked.. "you're about 6 weeks pregnant". Was shocked. I'd gone from zero children to 3 in 3 months. I wasn't ready but fate is fate.

I had been thru chemo for cancer & was a sick 42 y/o. 3 Drs said to terminate. My own mom & step dad said they didn't see me as "the motherly type"& said they'd understand my getting an abortion, "like the doctors said" but then I'd made friends with the baby growing inside me. He hated curry!

Long story slightly shortened, my was born a little late, with no doctor present. He came on May 11, 1997, Mother's Day, @ 12:24am. He was my 1st & greatest Mother's Day present. Even tho these doctors had told me to terminate, he was perfect & was declared a gifted student in 1st grade & went on to get a perfect score on his High School achievement test "in the top 1/2 if 1% of students tested nationally". He's in his 1yr year of college now.

WHICH FINALLY BRINGS US TO THE PUMPKIN SEEDS! I finally heatdhfrom

Wow- thanks for sharing your story. It seems as though your sister waited to come through to you when she had the most important message to deliver. Glad you are surrounded by seeds of love:)

I had a dream that I was pooing pumpkinseed I was in the bathroom of course pooing and when I got up because somebody else had to use the bathroom which in my dream was my brother in law my sister boyfriend was knocking at the door I told him to hold on cuz when I look back for some odd reason the toilet was attached to the shower so everywhere in the shower was pumpkin seed everywhere pumpkin seed in the ceiling in the corner of the shower in the floor and in my dreams I freaked out and I didn't want my brother-in-law to see that coming in the bathroom so I start cleaning it and that was pretty much it I woke up and Im like what a funny dream but I'm kind of interesting to know what it means. I would love to find an answer if you have any idea?

3/10/2018 07:33:41 am

My immediate thought was you seem to have a lot of ideas, goals, dreams but are hesitant to let others know about them. Sometimes we do not want to vocalize our dreams because we are afraid others will laugh or not undertand the goals' importance to us; often times, we are afraid of failure. All of those reasons are fear-based. Only you can validate your ideas as they come from a place of love and truth within you. If you have been storing up goals/dreams/ideas (ie: seeds), plant them, and let people know they are there. Most importantly, acknowledge your ideas to yourself, thereby honoring your truth.

Just last night I had a dream where I was in a garden but I was eating pumpkin seeds so so so much,I had them full in my hands and they keep on multiplying in both my hands,And I kept on eating I saw pumpkins too on the ground where I was standing and they where surrounding me.could you please care to help me interpret this for me?

Sandra link

7/18/2018 11:34:36 am

Hey Justina- what a great dream! As pumpkin seeds symbolize abundance, as well as dreams, I want you to see that all of your dreams and desires are so close to you! Identify what you want and go after it. How exciting that you hold all of this in your hands but are surrounded by them as well; sounds like every which way you turn, your goals are ready for manifestation. Your dream is telling you this is a great time to move forward:)

I dreamt I was digging the seeds out of rotting pumpkins. But they were healthy seeds. Sometimes there would be a healthy pumpkin inside of a rotten pumpkin and that’s where I would find the seeds. I feel like I already know how this applies to my personal life but I thought I would share.

I just woke up from a dream that I had an open wound in my left leg and I started picking on it. Seeds started to appear and I started to take them out. They looked like pumpkin seeds because they were flat but I didn’t necessarily associated them with pumpkin seeds. I piled the seeds on a table but then going back to my wound, stuff started to come out from it. It kind of looked liked pieces of meat mixed with fat and I started to take it out.

I dreamt that someone told me to buy some pumpkin seeds in my dream last night. I have been down because my GPA is at 2.5 and i am going thru depression and my parents abandon me. I am confused ... i have been dreaming alot about ants attacking me in my dream but suddenly gets this dream about pumpkin. Plz advise me. Please!

8/7/2020 04:39:53 pm

Hi Alecia, I am sorry you are going through a tough time right now. I love that you are remembering your dreams and paying attention to them to seek answers. The ants attacking you typically symbolize being annoyed by someone or something. Ants are strong, persistent and resilient, all good qualities, but when they are attacking you, think about what issues or people have really been eating at you. What can you do to react differently? I think the ant dream switching to pumpkins is a positive sign for you. The seeds you are being encouraged to buy, to me, mean you are being encouraged to believe in yourself. The seeds represent dreams we have the power to manifest. What is it you want for yourself? Is it time to take some small steps to nurture that goal? If you need resources to deal with the depression, feel free to email me and I will see if I can help:) [email protected]

I had been sitting down at my desk and looked down and there was a pumpkin there right under me. What could that mean?

8/25/2020 07:18:08 am

Our current external world is so challenging that I think everyone is going through some interesting challenges. Having said that, the pumpkin seed represents abundance. It is in seed form so it is abundance yet to come. For example, if you are struggling right now with finances, this seed is hope and encouragement that abundance will manifest. But I also think it is a strong message- especially since you found an actual seed versus dreamed it- to be grateful for the abundances you do have. I think we often correlate abundance with finances and money. Abundance can relate to relationships, love, time, energy, security...anything:) So, your seed is a reminder to you to offer gratitude for what you do not have and plant hope as you work towards manifesting what you strive for.

So, I had dream about a pumpkin seed in my scalp and this page came up on a Google search. Basically, I read life I have thinning hair, not at all unusual but I am self-conscious about it. In the dream I had made an exact copy of myself so that I could get a better look at my scalp. I found that the clone I had made had a furrowed scalp under the hair. But the furrows were perfect rings about 3 cm in diameter that contained some kind of thick clear discharge and in one of them towards the left back of the top was a pumpkin seed. I had to squeeze it out to find out what it was. Then in my dream I found that my own scalp felt the same and from the same area as on the clone I was able to remove pumpkin seed from my scalp, covered in the same discharge that was in the clone's furrows but also with a bit a blood. Needless to say it was kind of gross. Any thoughts?

Last night, my husband and I got into bed, and on my nightstand I have a Kleenex box. I went to put my phone on my nightstand and on top of my Kleenex box was a pumpkin seed. It definitely was not there the previous night because I would have noticed and we have absolutely no idea where it would have come from. I definitely want to take it as a sign of some sort. We are hoping to start a family so do you think I should take that as a good sign??
