money

Dreaming Lens: Who had the money in the dream? Did you have more or less than you need or desire? Did you earn, find, borrow, or steal it? Was it clean conscience money, or money that had been laundered?

Personal Focus: Money is a complicated symbol to interpret because it stimulates intense emotional issues for most people. It is even more challenging to understand because of the illusive nature of money itself. Money is only as valuable as society agrees it to be. It wouldn’t matter if we traded rocks or sticks instead of beautifully printed paper. What we call money is actually just symbolic of a commodity. Therefore, it is not wealth itself, but the representation of wealth. How much or how little you have is a measure of the power and freedom to attain what you desire by virtue of how much you possess.

In a dream, money often represents your inner resources. Your sense of personal value, power, or the ability to make something happen can be expressed by the symbol of money. As a symbol, large amounts of money can represent any sort of achievement or sense of fulfillment as an unconscious expression of desires met. No matter what the financial situation in your waking life, your dream state can find you available for limitless abundance or attached to absolute lack.

Since money in life is symbolic in nature, in the dream world it can represent any form of abundance. The appearance of money in a dream could connect to the acquisition of any desire, from a new sense of inner riches to outward expressions of expansion, such as a new relationship, job, or other appearance of a heart’s desire. On the opposite side of the spectrum, money in a dream could be pointing out feelings of lack you are experiencing in life. As a wish fulfillment or compensatory dream, connecting to money could be balancing out feelings of limitation. Money that is counterfeit is revealing a relationship to abundance that is false or inauthentic. Though it may look real, it has been manufactured with dubious intentions. In a dream, this might point to ways in which you are trying to get away with presenting yourself as bigger than you really are.

Also be willing to look at the various elements in your current situation; are there circumstances in your life that are costing you more than you can afford? This can apply to both material and emotional conditions. Look at the amount of money or lack of money in the dream as connoting how much or how little of some needed commodity appears in your life. This can be spiritual, emotional, or physical. How abundant do you feel?

"Dreams about money can represent abundance, power, and success, but also our relationship with ourselves and others. Receiving or losing money in a dream may indicate financial challenges or confidence. Giving money away or receiving someone else's savings may indicate generosity or the use of their expertise. Money dreams may connect to personal goals, representing achievement or lack, and offer insight into our emotional life."

Money is a symbol that can represent a wide range of concepts, such as abundance, power, freedom, self-worth, and personal resources in dreams. Dreams about money often connect to our own potential for success and how we value ourselves, whether it be material or spiritual.

If you dream about receiving money, it may indicate that you are feeling confident, potent, lovable, and valuable, as if success and prosperity are within your reach. However, if you dream of losing money, it could signify that you are dealing with financial challenges and setbacks in your life.

Money can also represent our relationship with ourselves and others, including our sexuality and self-giving. Holding onto money could indicate a sense of insecurity or being emotionally or sexually tight. On the other hand, not having enough money may suggest a sense of inadequacy or failing potency. Dud money or counterfeit money could represent a false or inauthentic relationship to abundance.

If you dream about giving money away, it may signify your generous and loving nature, and that you are seeking to be loved. Alternatively, if you dream about someone else giving you their savings, you may be able to use their knowledge and expertise to your advantage.

Money dreams may also connect to your own personal goals and aspirations. Large amounts of money in a dream can represent any sort of achievement or sense of fulfillment, as an unconscious expression of desires met. This could include a new sense of inner riches or outward expressions of expansion, such as a new relationship or job. On the opposite side of the spectrum, money dreams could be pointing out feelings of lack that you are experiencing in life.

Ultimately, money dreams are about your own personal power, self-worth, and potential for success. Paying attention to the various elements in your dream can give you insight into your emotional and spiritual life.
