Gift

Vision: Receiving a gift: be prepared to face some losses. Open your heart to others. Giving a gift: you are prone to hasty actions and decisions. Also, someone will surprise you with a gift.

Depth Psychology: Dreaming about giving a gift or giving something away is a reminder to be more generous with your affection toward others. Or did you “give yourself away”? Maybe you have become so involved in a particular matter that you neglected your own interests? You are either an idealist or have too many illusions. You will know which of the above fits you! Sometimes a gift refers to your need for recognition and praise; or it is simply a sign of a positive state of mind. Who is giving the gift? To whom are you giving a gift? Did you give yourself a gift?

Dreams of a gift symbolize an insight, idea, or pregnancy.

If you dream that you are giving a gift, then this signifies that you are acknowledging, showing love and appreciation toward someone. And because everyone in your dream is you, you are acknowledging yourself.

If you dream that you are the one receiving a gift, then this is about a desire to be recognized, acknowledged, loved and appreciated by others. This dream could also be a message for you to realize that your presence is the greatest gift you can give those you love.

Giving and receive gifts is usually a pleasant occasion and both parties benefit from the exchange. Dreaming about gift giving may be a reflection on positive exchanges that are occurring in your daily life. Some say that to give and to receive is the same things. Keep this in mind and also remember that the most valuable gifts may be emotional and spiritual in nature and that your dream may be attempting to make you aware of such gifts. Consider all of the details in the dream and make attempts to connect them to internal and personal realities or daily events.
