To have dreamt of an artichoke symbolizes layers of your personality that you are unveiling or need to unveil. The exact meaning of an artichoke vary quite a bit, however.

It can also represent the heart of a matter, as the heart is the most desirable part of the artichoke. Eating an artichoke in a dream suggests you are taking your time to get to the heart of an issue, or that you are enjoying the process of self-discovery.

To have dreamed of an artichoke, in Freudian terms, might signify the dreamer's unconscious struggle with complex emotions or situations, akin to peeling the layers of an artichoke.

Somewhat similarly: It's a metaphorical representation of the process of introspection and self-analysis. Consuming an artichoke in a dream, by contrast, could be indicative of the dreamer's willingness to confront and digest these complexities, a symbolic act of assimilation and acceptance. It might also suggest a latent desire for nourishment, not merely physical, but emotional or intellectual, as the artichoke is a symbol of sustenance and wisdom in certain cultures.0

It's a divine reminder that nourishment is not just physical, but also spiritual, and that wisdom and understanding are essential for spiritual growth and enlightenment.
