If you see a walnut in its shell in your dream, it’s telling you that you shouldn’t give up when you come across an obstacle in life. If you are willing to put in the hard work then you will eventually achieve your goals and succeed.

On the other hand, if you spent time trying to get into the walnut but weren’t able to- you may be expelling too much mental and physical energy into something and you are wasting your time for what it will bring. There is such a thing as too much work when the rewards will be minimal.

If the walnut was rotten when you opened up the shell, then all your efforts could end up with feelings of bitterness and a physical breakdown between you and someone else.

If the walnut was intact when you reached the middle, perhaps you have just come to the end of a challenging project and all your hard work was worth it.

Eating walnuts could be indicative of your health. Perhaps you need to eat more healthfully if you having been putting things in your body that aren’t good for you lately.

Walnuts can also symbolise something that’s hidden in your waking hours. If you were able to get to the nut- then perhaps you have recently revealed something about yourself to someone or uncovered something unrelated to you for others to see.

If you were cooking with walnuts, it’s possible your home life is prosperous or about to be.

It is thought that if a woman dreams of a walnut- it has associations with motherhood. Perhaps you are thinking of starting a family or have been imagining what it would be like to be a mother lately.

If the walnuts were already shelled in your dream this has associations with easy money. Perhaps you feel you are entitled to passive income and don’t want to invest any hard work in exchange for your wages.
