Honey
To dream that you see honey, you will be possessed of considerable wealth. To see strained honey, denotes wealth and ease, but there will be an undercurrent in your life of unlawful gratification of material desires. To dream of eating honey, foretells that you will attain wealth and love. To lovers, this indicates a swift rush into marital joys.

Hindu Quotes: Inmost Self
 
Said Uddalaka to Shvetaketu:
 "As bees suck nectar from many a flower
 And make their honey one, so that no drop
 Can say, 'I am from this flower or that,'
 All creatures, though one, know not they are
 that One.
 There is nothing that does not come from
 him.
 Of everything he is the inmost Self.
 He is the truth; he is the Self supreme.
 You are that, Shvetaketu; you are that."
 
- Chandogya Upanishad

Buddhist Quotes: When Evil Ripens
 
As long as evil has yet to ripen,
 the fool mistakes it for honey.
 But when that evil ripens,
 the fool falls into
 pain.
 
 Month after month
 the fool might eat
 only a tip-of-grass measure of food,
 but he wouldn't be worth
 one sixteenth
 of those who've fathomed
 the Dhamma.
 
- Dhammapada, 5, translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.
