What does dreaming about harvest & sowing mean in the Bible?
Sown in tears, reaped in joy — the season is coming
Harvest dreams speak of fruit from long labor. Scripture promises the sequence holds: those who sow in tears will reap with songs of joy, and at the proper time a harvest comes to those who do not give up. Jesus adds the wider view — the harvest is plentiful, and workers are few. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, harvest & sowing is filed under actions & events — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Galatians 6:9, Psalms 126:5, Matthew 9:37. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to harvest & sowing, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
