What does it mean when you dream about carrots?

The carrot is a symbol of good health for the eyes, particularly if the dreamer eats the carrot. It is a prolific symbol because of the association of rabbits with carrots. It may also symbolize a lure, as in the expression, “dangle a carrot,” depending on how the carrot is experienced.
