Do you ever find yourself dreaming about money?
Does every dream mean something?
Only if you ask, according to Dr. Michael Lennox, a psychologist and author of the book "Dream Sight: A Dictionary and Guide for Interpreting Any Dream."
He feels that there are different steps, or levels, of working with a dream, each one slightly more beneficial than the one that precedes it. Rather than try to analyze every night time thought, he prefers the term interpretation.
All of which means that:
- Remembering a dream brings it into consciousness, thereby elevating the value it can offer in the search for personal understanding.
- Thinking about and processing the information it presents by ruminating on your dream will deepen the experience.
- Writing your dream down will reinforce the impact of your effort and lock the unconscious expression in your conscious mind.
- Discussing it with another person is going one step further, as an objective viewpoint is always going to help you see something that you would be unable to see on your own.
- Responding to your dream with a creative endeavor, such as drawing or writing a poem takes this to its highest level. The unconscious mind expresses itself through creative means and this kind of dream work is the most powerful there is.
But what does that say about people who dream about money? It's all about looking for things that make us feel prosperous, he tells National Public Radio.
Interestingly, he says dreams about money may not necessarily relate to your finances, but perhaps your desire for something else. And dreams that don't have any money in them, but say food, may relate to your real-life finances.
Do you see dollar signs when you sleep? What role does money play in your dreams?

This dream can be triggered by fantasies driven by your need for money. The dream might not take effect in the real life but gives an idea of how much you think of money when you are awake. It indicates that you are worried that your partner is trying to spend all your money that you have. If you dream that you are holding money literally in your hands and you are looking at your hands and there is money in there, coins or notes, it's an indication that you are about to look at a major investment with a property. So that's how to understand money in dreams

I dream about food all the time, I always just thought I was a hungry bloke but now I know I'm probably just seeking vast amounts of money! Typical! I wonder what it means when you dream about women lol
