Traditional reading

A chili pepper taemong has long been considered the classic dream foretelling a son. The redder and riper the pepper, the more passionate and driven the child was said to be. These days, though, it's more fitting to see it as a dream that shows a child's lively, spirited temperament rather than gender.

Through the heart

A spicy chili pepper symbolizes strong will and passion. If you dreamed it unrelated to pregnancy, it may mean there are words or emotions you've been wanting to express building up.
