Dreaming of Charity
charity, donation, giving · mostly negative, with one happy exception
Giving charity in a dream mostly signals demands, losses and worry; receiving it, by contrast, promises success after hard times.
What happens in the dream
- Receiving charity: you'll succeed in life after hard times, the happy exception
- Giving charity: you'll be besieged with requests for help, and business will stall
- Giving to charitable institutions: your right to some property will be disputed, with worry and poor health
- If you are well-off and act charitably: a loss of fortune
- If you are young and give charity: deceitful rivals will trouble you, or you'll give your heart to someone unworthy
How you felt
- Guilt or duty: the dream often mirrors what you feel you owe others
- Fear of depletion: it may reflect worry about giving too much
Ask yourself
- Am I giving more than I can afford to?
- Do I know how to accept help?
