An interpretation of bank dreams

An interpretation of bank dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A bank is associated with finances and money and as symbolism can cover any subject related to money, investment of time and energy, “rainy-day fund,” and preparation for the future. Your inner bank is where you have your internal resources such as energy and motivation. It’s your sense of security knowing you’ve planned well, or insecurity, depending on the state of the bank in the dream. Withdrawing money from a bank can symbolize tapping into the resources you have accumulated—material or personal. A blocked account can symbolize money-supply issues, or having a hard time using resources for yourself and instead always thinking of others first, or being overly conservative and underutilizing resources. To dream about a bank being robbed can symbolize needless use or loss of money or resources, or financial instability. The bank is where resources are stored, so a robbed bank implies personal loss. It can symbolize trying against the odds to preserve importance, or to delay an inevitable decline. Like Hugh Hefner in his eighties gobbling Viagra and dating 20-year-old models, it’s a way of saying you’re clinging to something after the expiration date has passed. Banks are difficult to break into, and that association extends to situations such as getting into a social circle, or gaining access to something closed to you. It can be a clever way of saying, “break the bank,” meaning bust finances. Dreaming about being unable to locate a bank can indicate financial problems such as difficulty saving money, or out-of-control spending habits. Locating the bank can mean internally locating or tapping inner resources, especially related to budgeting, planning, or restraint. A fat bank account or big bank building can symbolize success, especially material success, or confidence in a secure position. Having a lot of money in the bank is a sign of success and prestige, a source of confidence, and it can give a sense of importance. See also: Bankruptcy, Burglary, Money, Purse, Thieves, Walls
