Pomegranate seed
A single seed from the pomegranate — a small, jewel-like commitment that, in myth, binds the eater to a place.
A pomegranate seed in a dream is the dream's image of a small, jewel-like commitment that binds the eater to a place. The myth of Persephone is part of this image: a few seeds eaten in the underworld decided where she had to live. The dream brings the pomegranate seed when a small acceptance in your life — a meal taken, a gift received, an arrangement agreed to — is, in fact, the act that ties you to a particular world. A seed taken knowingly is the dream telling you the commitment is being made with eyes open. A seed taken without realising what it is is the dream noting that the binding has just been done and the binding was not, at the time, recognised.
