Finances Dream Meaning

Finances (and especially the flow of money) can represent the flow of something that’s given and received in your life (such as time, effort, support, or something else of value).

A savings account with a high balance can represent something you’ve saved or “banked” (such as good will, favors that people owe you, or good karma).

Wasting money can represent wasting something valuable (such as time, energy, or effort).

For more clues to meaning, consider the flow of money, the context and motivations involved, and your feelings about it.
