According to traditional interpretation and Ibn Sirin, money in a dream may often point to provision, good fortune, and an opportunity on its way; finding it is counted as blessing and glad tidings, receiving it as the reward of one's labor. That said, in some accounts coins or copper money may point to gossip, quarrels, and heartache, while paper money may point to relief following a passing difficulty.
What does dreaming of money mean psychologically?
In modern psychology, money can be a symbol of one's self-worth, power, need for security, and energy; according to Jung it may represent an inner potential or something you value, while in the Freudian view it can be associated with repressed desire and the sense of control. Seeing money may be less a sign about your actual bank account than about how "sufficient" and worthy you feel.

Where these readings come from
Every symbol in this dictionary carries two readings side by side, and neither replaces the other. The traditional interpretation comes from the classical literature of Ibn Sirin and al-Nabulsi, where a dream is taken as a sign of what is to come and a symbol's meaning is largely fixed. The psychological view follows Jung and Freud: there a dream speaks not about the future but about the dreamer, and a symbol stands for something the person has repressed or cannot yet name. That is why the same symbol can read differently, even oppositely, under the two headings. The context section follows from the same idea: one symbol reads differently depending on who saw it and what happened in the dream.
