Money, although, according to the sages, is evil, it nevertheless represents an important component of our well-being, and it is not surprising that they come to us in night visions (especially to those who constantly think of them in reality). What does a wallet with money mean in a dream? The dream books give quite comprehensive answers to this question. As you know, the meaning of dreams can completely change from the content and even the individual details of what is seen, therefore, we will analyze several stories that are somehow related to money, and at the same time with the latter’s best friend - a wallet.
Money is a good sign both in a dream and in reality
First of all, we note that, according to most interpreters, the money that appeared to us in a dream (and even more so in reality) is a good omen. And this is not difficult to verify by opening their dream books. A wallet with money (especially if it is tightly filled with banknotes), in their opinion, is a sign that the dreamer will soon be visited by luck that can improve his financial situation.
This may be a salary increase, a big win in the lottery, or at least a debt received, which was considered to be hopelessly lost. At the same time, a woman’s dream of a wallet with money is interpreted by dream books as a sign that she will soon get married, and if she already has time to do this, she will make herself a worthy lover.
What does the money found in a dream promise?
Often night visions are filled with plots based on real (albeit secret) dreams. Who did not want to get a rich inheritance, or at least, walking along the street, suddenly find money? In dream books, interpretation is given to such fantasies, but the opinions of experts in this case differ. For example, Aesop back in the 7th century BC. e. claimed that the coins found in a dream (in his time there was no paper money yet) portend tears. The compilers of the modern “Women's Dream Book” are completely in solidarity with him. To find money, in their opinion, does not bode well.
Eastern sages, who also liked to speculate about the secrets of night visions, unanimously proved the opposite. They argued that this is a good sign, foreshadowing the dreamer not only improving welfare, but also finding peace of mind, which is especially important, since it does not always happen even with money.
How to relate to the little things found in a dream?
Let us dwell on some of the nuances associated with the money found in a dream. In particular, a trifle found somewhere in dream books is often interpreted as a sign that in reality the dreamer is spending unacceptably much effort and time on things that do not bring him a practical result. In this case, it is recommended to soberly evaluate your activity and try to direct it in a more productive direction.
This interpretation is also curious: if, in a dream, a person opens a wallet and discovers only a small amount of trifle there, dream books (for example, Miller or Zedkiel) warn him that in reality he will have to experience deep disappointment. It can be the result of failures both in personal life and in professional activity.
At the same time, if the dreamer, opening the wallet, deliberately takes out a trifle from it (for example, to pay in the store or transport), then such a plot does not contain a negative, but only indicates that in reality there will be a fair amount of small ones, but urgent matters.
What does the dreamer promise the loss of a wallet with money?
A dream in which a person, due to absent-mindedness or due to some other circumstances, loses his wallet along with all its contents, like all other night visions, can be interpreted depending on a number of details. Let's start with the plots in which the cause of the incident is not someone else's malice, but only a combination of circumstances.
A very authoritative interpreter of dreams - American psychologist Gustav Miller - wrote that since financial well-being is the object of our aspirations and a matter of pride (if it is achieved, of course), in a dream the loss of a wallet with money may portend some difficulties that may arise in real life. What exactly they will express themselves will depend on many reasons, but in any case, after such a dream, the scientist recommends being especially careful.
Testimonies of Freud and Nostradamus
A very original interpretation of this kind of dreams was given by the Austrian psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud. Without changing his manner of seeing in everything the manifestation of the sexual instinct embedded in people, he saw in money a certain sexual symbol - "I want and I can." A similar meaning is given in his dream book and wallet with money, the loss of which can in reality be expressed in the presence of various sexual disorders.
If you dream of losing a wallet, then you may well see his searches, which also require their own interpretation. The well-known 16th century soothsayer Nostradamus very convincingly wrote about what it means to look for a wallet with money in a dream . According to him, this lesson testifies that in reality the main enemy of the dreamer is his own apathy, which prevents him from succeeding in business and prevents him from gaining personal happiness. This person cannot find himself and treats his life with complete indifference.
What does stolen money mean?
Now let’s figure out what should be expected in reality if a wallet with money (from a bag, for example) was stolen in your dream . Much depends on whether it was full or empty. If it contained a sufficient number of notes, then a similar plot is considered by most interpreters in an extremely negative light. Even the individual details of what they saw do not brighten up the overall picture. So, according to one version, in a dreamer's real life, such significant losses can be expected that he will face a debt hole (in the figurative sense, of course), and on the other, the end of his calm and serene existence lies ahead.
However, not everything is so bad. If, for example, the stolen wallet was empty, then this can be regarded as a very good omen. According to a number of interpreters, it means that soon another person will take up the solution of the dreamer's financial problems. Why does he need someone else's headache, they do not specify, but are encouraged by assurances that from now on the sufferer, accustomed to denying himself everything, will finally breathe deeply.
I have such a dream!
In a dream, as you know, anything can be dreamed. It happens that, waking up, and ashamed to remember, and not just tell someone. Here, for example, a very decent person in night vision felt like a thief and pulled out a purse from a gaping passer-by. How does this threaten him in real life? Although the theft committed in a dream does not fall under the article of the Criminal Code, it nevertheless characterizes it from a rather unsightly side. Apparently, this person is waking up looking for a way to earn a lot of money without spending time and effort on this. Moreover, in order to achieve his goal, he is ready to sacrifice moral standards, and this sometimes leads to a contradiction with the law.
It is a sin to steal
However, there are some nuances here. Some commentators are not so pessimistic about this story and see it as a sign of good luck. In their opinion, in reality the dreamer will be able to finally achieve the desired goals in the business sphere or personal life, although it is possible that for this he will be forced to resort to tricks, and possibly play on trust.
If in a dream a person first steals someone’s wallet and then returns it to the owner (you never know, tortured conscience), then it follows that in reality he recently made some extremely unsuccessful acquisition, which he now regrets. So it is better not to stoop to theft either in a dream or in reality, especially since this is also a serious sin.
