Dreaming of Income

income, earnings, salary · mixed

Dreams of income are about money, but mostly about how it affects the people close to you.

What happens in the dream

  • A family member inherits an income: success for you
  • Part of your income is left over: real but short-lived success, and less than you hoped
  • Receiving your income: you may deceive someone and cause trouble for family and friends
  • Losing your income: disappointments in life
  • Your income isn't enough to live on: trouble for relatives or friends

How you felt

  • Insecurity: the dream often reflects very real money worries
  • A sense of responsibility: fear that your choices weigh on people who depend on you

Ask yourself

  • What actually worries me about my finances?
  • Do I feel responsible for other people's well-being?
