Dreaming of Wages
wages, pay, paycheck, salary · mixed
Wages in a dream mostly speak of unexpected gains and profit, though some readings flip the usual meaning.
What happens in the dream
- Receiving wages: unexpected good fortune if you're starting something new
- Paying out wages: you will be frustrated and dissatisfied
- Your wages are cut: someone is working against you, or, by another reading, a better-paid post awaits
- Your wages go up: unusual profit, though another reading warns you may soon be out of work
How you felt
- A need for recognition: the dream may reflect whether you feel paid what you're worth
- Insecurity: you may be worried about your financial footing
Ask yourself
- Do I feel recognized for my work?
- What would make me feel more secure?
