Dreaming of Being Poor

poor, broke · mixed

Seeing yourself poor in a dream points to worries, but sometimes, by contrast, to good luck.

What happens in the dream

  • You dream of poverty: by contrast, a sign of good luck
  • You are so poor you have to beg: someone will insult you or hurt your feelings, though your luck holds
  • You or your friends appear poor: worries and losses

How you felt

  • Anxiety: the dream often reflects money worries or a fear of going without
  • Humiliation: perhaps a fear of depending on others

Ask yourself

  • What am I afraid of running short of right now?
  • Do I measure my worth by what I own?
