Dreaming of Lending

lending, lend, loan · mixed: negative if you lend, positive if others lend to you

Lending in a dream foretells money troubles, while refusing to lend, or being offered a loan, is a good sign.

What happens in the dream

  • Others offer to lend you money or things: prosperity and close friendships
  • Refusing to lend: you will guard your interests and keep your friends' respect
  • Lending money: trouble paying your debts and unpleasant influences in private life
  • Lending other things: generosity that leaves you poorer

How you felt

  • Generosity: the dream may reflect a wish to help
  • Fear of being taken advantage of: it may express how hard it is to say no

Ask yourself

  • Am I giving more than I can afford?
  • Is there a request I'm struggling to turn down?
