Dreaming of Pennies

penny, cent, change · mostly negative, with one exception

Pennies point to unsatisfying pursuits and stingy affection, unless you find them.

What happens in the dream

  • You find them: your prospects will improve
  • You see pennies: unsatisfying pursuits, business suffering, and loved ones complaining you give too little affection
  • You count pennies: you'll be businesslike and thrifty
  • You lose them: little respect and small failures

How you felt

  • Fear of meanness: the dream may reflect a worry about giving, or getting, too little
  • Attention to detail: a need to keep track of your resources

Ask yourself

  • Am I stingy with my time or affection?
  • Which small things hold value for me?
