Money / Currency in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology

What you're worth, and where you spend yourself. Money in dreams is rarely about the bank account. Finding money can be discovering value in yourself you didn't know was there. Losing it, or being unable to pay, often tracks a feeling of running low on what a situation keeps costing you.

THE CORE MEANING

Psychic energy, value, power, what you're 'worth.' Money in dreams is rarely about actual finances. It's about the distribution and flow of psychic energy. Where are you spending yourself? What are you worth? What can you afford (psychologically)?

VARIATIONS: CONTEXT CHANGES THE MEANING

finding money: Discovering untapped psychic resources: energy, talent, or value you didn't know you had
losing money: Psychic energy drain, loss of value, spending yourself on something that doesn't return
being paid: Receiving recognition for psychic investment: your inner work is producing returns
unable to pay: Insufficient psychic resources for what's being demanded: you can't afford this transformation right now
counterfeit: False value, inflated self-worth, a currency that doesn't hold up under examination
