If you dreamed of being paid in any way—be it a wage, salary, bonus check or cash—remember that money in dreams often symbolizes something of worth, so your attitude towards receiving the money is extremely important.
If you felt angry because you were paid a derisory sum, you may be feeling undervalued in waking life or you may feel that someone is cheating you out of your rightful reward. If, however, you accepted the derisory sum without complaint, this suggests that your self-esteem is in need of a boost.
If you dreamed of receiving a pay check for a vast amount of money, your dream was probably simple wish-fulfillment, referring either to your desire never to have to work for money again or to your desire to be recognized in some way. [1]
If you dreamed of spending money on the basis of a raise, it is a warning to economize, as you are likely to have to cope with either a temporarily reduced income due to business reverses or an unanticipated drain on your resources.
To dream of paying a salary is a forecast of financial gain.
Dreaming of feeling unhappy about your salary or talking in a negative fashion suggests a downward mental spiral that may need to be addressed now before you begin to feel depressed. Someone coming to you with news of a salary raise is a message to you that you are able to make emotional changes necessary to better your life generally. [3]
