Yellow Persimmon in dreams

A persimmon in a dream is the dream's image of sweetness that becomes available only after the leaves have fallen. Persimmons ripen late; the unripe fruit is harsh and astringent, and only the patience of the season makes it edible. The dream brings the persimmon when something in your life — an understanding, an apology, a forgiveness — could not have been good any earlier than now. A persimmon ripe and eaten in late autumn is the dream telling you the timing was honest. A persimmon bitten too early is the dream noting that you tried to take the fruit before the season had made it the thing you wanted, and the taste of the attempt is going to stay with you.
