What does it mean to dream about money?

What Miller wrote (1901)
To dream of finding money, denotes small worries, but much happiness. Changes will follow. … To lose money, you will experience unhappy hours in the home and affairs will appear gloomy. To count your money and find a deficit, you will be worried in making payments. … To save money, augurs wealth and comfort.

Your dream is not a dictionary entry
A dream about money comes with a place, other people and a feeling, and the old books read the same image very differently depending on those details. Dreamlore takes your whole dream, spoken or typed, finds the passages that fit it in Miller and Freud, quotes them word for word, and leaves you one question to reflect on. The journal stays on your phone.

What does it mean to dream about money?
Miller's 1901 dictionary reads finding money as small worries but much happiness, losing money as unhappy hours at home, and counting money and finding a deficit as worry over payments. Saving money is his sign of wealth and comfort. These are old readings to reflect on, not financial advice.

Dreamlore and these pages are for reflection and curiosity. The books quoted here are old — Miller wrote in 1901 and his entries read as omens, and many of Freud's ideas are disputed today. Take them as a starting point for thinking about your own dream, not as prediction or advice.
