Dreaming of Alms

alms, donation, handout · mostly positive

Alms in a dream are lucky if given freely, unlucky if refused or given grudgingly.

What happens in the dream

  • You give alms freely: joy and long life
  • You give or receive them unwillingly: a bad sign
  • You are asked and refuse: want and misery

How you felt

  • Generosity: the dream may reflect a wish to help
  • Discomfort: it may express unease about others' need or your own

Ask yourself

  • Whom could I reach out to?
  • Do I dare ask for help when I need it?
