Money dreams — finding money, banknotes, gold
Money in dreams rarely stands for actual money. It measures self-worth, energy and the feeling of security.
Found money points to an inner resource you have just discovered; lost or stolen money, a sense that something precious is draining away — time, attention, respect.
Gold sits in its own register: lasting value, something worth keeping.
