Dreaming of a Beggar
beggar · mostly negative
A beggar warns against poor management; giving is better than refusing.
What happens in the dream
- You give to a beggar: in one tradition, dissatisfaction with your situation; in another, success and the love you wanted after much effort
- A beggar pesters you: misfortune or bad luck
- An old, frail beggar: poor management; save, or you will lose a great deal, and gossip could hurt your reputation
- You refuse to give: a very bad sign, with hardship and trouble, and in love a gossip may come between you
How you felt
- Fear of going without: the dream often reflects financial insecurity
- Compassion: a need to give or receive help
Ask yourself
- Am I afraid of not having enough?
- Who could I help?
