What are possible meanings for dreams of banks?

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.

Thomas the Tank Robs a Bank

I was going into a bank to deposit some money, but out of nowhere Thomas the Tank engine busts through the wall and breaks and ATM, while demanding money in a ski mask. I shit my pants and run the hell out of there, but I get shot by what looks like the conductor holding a glock 17. I don’t know why or how I thought of this, but I just dreamt it last night.

Running from demon dogs and opening a catholic bank account

Had a dream I was helping someone move an injured or maybe even dead dog while outside, and as we were looking down to pick it up, this black demon like figure ran fast as hell across the yard...I looked up at the person and asked if they saw and was terrified. Next thing I know I’m running fast as possible and these demon dog things are along side me trying to bite at me and take me down. I found a safe place but could feel creatures watching me from a distance. Suddenly I was with my mom trying to access my bank account and was told my account was closed and needed to resort to Catholicism order to re-open my account and in turn would receive a $700 bonus. I decided to simply because I needed the money for whatever reason, although I did not truly intend to hold the catholic beliefs

Ever since then I have been in such a bad mood, not wanting anyone to bother me, which is difficult cause I have kids and a husband.

The next night I had a dream my husband fucked my mom, and then the next night I dreamed I was trying to help a girl overcome her raging addiction. It’s been non stop negativity since that demon ran through my dream.

Girlfriend dreamt of being shot at work?

My girlfriend woke up in the middle of last night distressed and crying, and I can't remember all of the details of the dream she described to me but I do remember it went something like this:

In real life, she works in a bank. In her dream, she was at work at the front of the building - assisting entering customers with a colleague. Someone (not sure who) comes in armed with a pistol, points it at her, and shoots. She falls to the ground, but not dead, looks her side and hears another shot, and then sees her colleague fall to the ground dead beside her.

Does anyone know what this could represent? I may be able to help with more details, if needed.

Falling in love dream with a sick twist at the end

Had a dream this morning where there was a girl I was interested in who I’ve never seen before. She ended up with another guy and then I sort of watched them dating and stuff, not like I was stalking but sort of as though the dream was a movie. Somehow I messaged her on some app, not sure which one, can’t remember much of the text think it was along the lines of give me a chance or something. She says yes so we’re in a sort of computer lab or something, sitting at a desk and we’re hitting it off. No idea what we were talking about but I ended up leaving the room and I woke up. I was all sad wishing she was real, and this is where it gets a bit crazy. I fall back asleep and I come back from wherever I was going, and she’s spinning a calendar (kind of like the one that is a small square with the month and the date in large text) around on her finger. I asks what she’s doing and she laughs and says wasting your time. I check what she’s doing on the computer and she has a USB stick plugged in and transferring a file called bank details (what!?). Then I turn violent. I elbow the side of her head and slam her face into the desk, and through tears wipe the USB stick. I woke up right when I clicked the wipe button. Pretty messed up huh.
