Money dream meaning

A dream featuring money is generally associated with your "inner" drive to make things happen, the presence of money in a dream is also connected to gaining good luck and wealth. In my view this is a positive dream. I have decoded around 600 money dreams in total in my 20 years of running this website. To dream of being wealthy is a reflection of the power of your thoughts, and how they will manifest into material prosperity. Basically, money is the means of getting valued items into your possession, but in a dream state, its monetary value does not depend on the financial state of your affairs, but rather telling you that you are going to be wealthy from a spiritual point of view. Most likely this is a continuation of your waking moments, specifically your worries and anxieties that you are currently having in the waking life.

There is something interesting that I want to share with you which I feel is the reason you are here. In Greek mythology, there is a story about King Midas, who was granted the power to turn anything he touched into gold. This may seem like a dream come true for most people; however, it soon became his worst nightmare. He quickly realized that having an abundance of wealth did not bring him happiness or fulfillment. In fact, it caused more problems in his life than he could have ever imagined. This story teaches us that sometimes our desires and aspirations can lead us down a path that we sometimes don't realize.

Now let's relate this back to your money dream. When you dream about money, it may be indicative of your subconscious desire for financial success and stability. However, just like King Midas' experience, these dreams may also symbolize your fear or worry about becoming too obsessed with something in daily life (a person, a job or even a relationship).

But dreaming about money is not always negative or based solely on fears and desires. In fact, throughout history, there have been numerous famous figures who have had significant dreams involving money that influenced their lives in one way or another. One notable example is Alexander Hamilton's Founding Father of America who dreamed about banknotes burning while he was serving as Secretary of Treasury in 1789. This prophetic dream led him to spearhead important financial reforms which shaped U.S. economy today.

Another famous figure known for her prophetic dreams was Nostradamus (sorry if you already know about him) he was a renowned French astrologer from 16th century ---- who predicted the rise and fall of many empires through his symbolic visions involving coins and riches, the reason why I mention this is because it could be giving you a clue to what is going to happen. A bit like a premonition.

Is this dream of money good or bad?

As I have said above it is a good dream, it means wealth is coming and essentially that things will settle down in life. Now, if the dream featured "debt" or that you need to pay for something it means that you have offended someone or someone has offended you and that lack of forgiveness is draining the life out of you. To dream of stealing money in your dream means that you may suffer from low creative energy and the effects will be shown in the days to come when new ideas will not come out easily, just like writer’s block. If you are borrowing money in your dream because of an urgent need, it means that things will become much easier for you in the near future.

What does the dream of money mean?

Money like everything is with us in our daily life. Essentially our dream is a reflection of our subconscious mind. The most important thing is to also realize that our turmoil and difficulties in life are sometimes surfaced in the dream state. Therefore, if you dream of money then you need to ensure that you are happy about money in waking life. As our dream is a communication with our subconscious mind to dream of money can indicate possible changes. If you constantly dream of money then it can actually be significant and mean something. Money is the most popular dream symbol for those that are younger, this is because making money is of paramount importance. A money dream can be interpreted as a classic dream. The feelings experienced in the dream also represent your feelings and approach to money in waking life. Money can often represent symbolic force at work, in the context of the money is equally important and in this deep dream interpretation, I will explain what money means in your dream.

 

What do the psychologists say about money dreams?

In order to decode our dreams, it is important to look at the famous psychologists: Carl Jung and Freud. Both of these psychologists analyzed a number of dreams involving money. In their conclusion, many dreams represent successful endeavours and also the value that one places on oneself. Freud believed that money was connected to our own sexuality and the power that we have over others.

From a negative perspective, many can also represent situations in life that are challenging and also difficult in this respect money can suggest the transformation or time of change if the dream is negative in nature. In its simplest interpretation if a dream of money is negative this indicates that you may be at a crossroads in life financially. It can suggest that things are in limbo. Dreams of stealing money, being robbed, fraud and not having enough money illustrate that you need to think about the next path in life. I will now break down your specific dream.

What about the amount of money in your dream?

The value of money in your possession during your dream usually represents your confidence to make things happen -- the larger the amount the more "powerful" the dream. The more money you have in your dream, the more you will have choices in the waking life. Remember that the elements in your dreams are only projections of your subconscious. That is why it is your subconscious that is actually determining your wealth in your dream, and not the hard work to earn that money. The amount of money you have in your dream does not necessarily reflect your actual wealth in your waking state, but it does reflect your disposition and your contentment.

Dreaming of a monetary system is a signal that you have to take things easy. To dream that someone gives you money suggests that your level of greed and contentment are interlinked. It also means that you have been much more worried about your financial security and it is killing your freedom to enjoy life. So try to chill out and take it easy.

What does it mean to dream of physical cash?

If you dream of holding an amount of cash, it means that you are seeking a sign that what you are currently doing is in line with your future goals. It is a call for thorough self-assessment because a profound doubt on your abilities is coming up from the depths of your unconscious, and it has been disturbing you. On the other hand, if you dream of being rich or having money in your bank account, then this is a positive dream meaning happy times are ahead. If you decide to buy material items using your ATM card instead of cash in a dream, it means that you need more confidence in your creativity. To dream of silver coins means that you need more drive. A dream of dollars means that your confidence is still intact, and you are likely to be prosperous soon.

To lend cash in your dream to another person while expecting that person to pay you back with interest is a warning that a great disappointment is looming at your door and that it calls for a reassessment of your financial affairs. Sometimes this is a signal to watch over your current relationships because you might become a little too tight than you usually are. On the contrary, lending cash freely without expecting something in return is a very good indication of possible financial freedom.

To count money in a dream is a sign that the creative energy within you is waiting to be tapped into. It also means that you have many ideas to share with others. Being in debt in your dream suggests that you have so many areas of interest in your life that you still have not finished or even started. If you lost money in your dream, of feeling stressed about money, this reflects the anxiety that you feel in the waking life about having to finish a range of important tasks.

If you dream that you find money, but this money is somebody else’s this dream can indicate that you are going to overlook an important situation in life. Try to make sure that you finish all your career goals and that you do not limit yourself in terms of direction and happiness. If you are single you dream of finding money this can suggest that you are not engaged in finding somebody. If you find money that has been stolen then this denotes that you are lacking a sense of self-worth and ambition. Perhaps you need to meditate and focus on yourself for a while.

The person that gives you the money in the dream is also significant. If you know the person that gives you money then this indicates that you may be feeling ignored by other people.

If you are paying for a house in a dream then this illustrates that you are going to have a test or challenge around your own property. To pay someone a dream that you do not know illustrates that you are going to have to deal with a test or challenge in the future. Dreaming of paying somebody that you do know, such as your mother, father, sister, brother in a dream is associated with that actual relationship you feel you need to give more to that relationship and you have done in the past.

Evil or criminals involved with money:

Oh no! what a dream! If in your dream you are being robbed or the dream involves negative people stealing money this can often alarm you especially in the dream state.

If you dream of giving away money to others, such as charity work alternatively you see somebody on the street (homeless person) and you give money to them in a dream then this can suggest that you may lack some material security.
