What are possible meanings for dreams of money?
Money in dreams is often a reflection of value. The association is made every time you open your purse or wallet to purchase something and consider the value of what you buy compared with the amount spent on it.
The idea of value applies to a wide variety of situations. For example, pay and benefits at work reflect a person’s value to the employer. The care and effort you put into a relationship reflects how much you value it. You can value (or not value) someone’s opinion, time, love, or input. See: Diamonds
Money can symbolize self-perceptions about your abilities and worth, or the worth of something in your life. For example, a woman dreams that her husband is given a big raise. She jokes with him that his employer finally recognizes his value to the business. When she wakes up and remembers the dream she wonders if it’s presaging that her husband really will get a raise. But what she’s really dreaming about is his value to her and their children. The raise in the dream refers to her raised esteem for him. She’s come to realize what a great provider he is, not just the income he provides but in his roles as father and husband.
Along this line, money can symbolize the importance and priority of someone or something.
Dreaming about giving money away to someone who doesn’t need it can mean you’re wasting your time and effort. It is not valued.
On the other hand, dreaming about giving money to someone who needs it can mean something is worth your time and effort. It can mean you want to show someone that he or she is important to you. It can mean that something is worthy of your investment—investment in the personal sense of investing your time, effort, hope, or faith.
Dreaming about being happy to receive money can mean you feel valued. Your efforts and contribution are being recognized.
Money in a dream can refer to related subjects such as greed, stinginess, and generosity. In this way, a dream can act as a simulation to show you how you really feel. See: Walls
People may say they would do this or that if they had the money, but put them in a dream where they suddenly have it and find out. Would your ego explode? Would you abandon your principles or ideals? Would you take care of the people who have taken care of you? See: Winning the lottery
Of course, money in a dream can be taken at face value, not as symbolism. Money and finances are a part of daily life and likely to be dreamed about. See: Banks
Money is a resource that’s invested, and that idea carries over to non-material investments, such as where and how you invest your focus, time, energy, and intellect. It can symbolize who your put your faith and time into, such as in a relationship or friendship, but most dreams connect with your inner life, and what you spend your money on—or your willingness to spend it—shows what your priorities are.
For example, a man dreams that he’s part of a protest group against an entrenched authority structure. He’s on the frontlines of the protest, deep down in some mines. They have blocked the tunnels and are awaiting the riot police. A fellow protestor mentions something about paying bail after they’re arrested. The dreamer suddenly realizes he doesn’t have the extra money for bail, or at least doesn’t want sacrifice what he has, so he decides to back away from the conflict and avoid getting arrested.
The dreamer’s reaction shows that he subconsciously knows that the sacrifice of money symbolized in the dream means his time and attention, and the setting deep down in the mine symbolizes deep inner work. He’s too busy in his life to divert his focus away to clean up some old personal wounds and confront some entrenched structures in his mind. He feels called inside to do it, but it’s just too much to handle at the moment. He chooses instead to back away.

Blood Rice
I dreamed I was lost in some foreign country and the locals were trying to help me. I was starving and they made this rice dish for me.
One of the seasonings was something they called "blood powder". It was blood red and smelled like garlic and something sweet, cloves maybe. It didn't mix with the rice, or the oil, or the vegetables when they tried to stir it in, it just sat in the bottom of the bowl.
1 cup rice, boiled
2 Boiled chicken legs, the meat cut into slivers.
1 carrot, julienne cut and sauteed
Half an onion, cut into rings and sauteed
Half a celery stalk, cut small and sauteed
A few kidney beans? boiled
Black pepper
Red pepper flakes
Olive oil and salt
A lot of "Blood powder"
I ate some, thanked my hosts, gave them some money to pay for the meal, and woke up.

Has anyone been asked to sign their name in a dream?
I have this weird dream sometimes. The last time I had it, it went like this: I was a salesman at a home furniture store and I was getting this old lady to buy some furniture. She would buy anything I suggested and I figured this out so I suggested the most expensive bed frame, refrigerator, cabinets. I remember being excited about how big of a commission I was gonna get, I totally thought I was taking advantage of her. Then, when I rang her up, her card kept declining. She said that there was not enough money in her account. Then all of a sudden her mood changed and she became very alert and sharp with her speech. She said that there was something I could do to help her. I said "what?" and she pulled out this list of names. It looked like some bank document but basically had a row for signatures and there were other names signed on it. She said if I forged her bank managers signature on one of the lines, she would have enough money to buy the furniture. I said no sorry mam I can't do that its illegal. This is where it got creepy, she looked at me with these stone cold eyes and said "why not? you want that commission don't you?" I kept telling her no and eventually she got frustrated and left.
The dream is just weird and I just don't like the tone of it. I don't know how to explain it but something about it just doesn't sit right with me.

What does this mean?
First time posting here. I (32 f) am an avid dreamer, yet I have difficulty remembering them unless they're particularly profound to my subconscious. I woke up this morning sweating and terrified and left with questions. Here's the dream:
Working in an office that resembled a place where I no longer work. There were many bad times at this office, so I suppose that's why my brain put me there. I was sitting quietly at my desk and working hard on something, probably a spreadsheet.
Two women I didn't recognize came around and started handing out paychecks; I recall thinking this was odd since I was paid direct deposit by this company. Anyway, they hand out about 4 checks before saying, "That's all we have. We only had enough checks to pay employees whose last names start with letters A - C."
I got upset and started to say something along the lines of, "I'm going to call (boss) and tell him you're not paying the rest of us. This is illegal, you can't just not pay us! I have a kid to feed!"
Response was, in short, "Tough shit."
I rode an elevator down to a parking lot and called this boss guy. He answers the phone and I say, "Mr. Delphi?" (Not my original boss's name)
"Ah, fuck it, call me Tourettes." Definitely *not* my boss's name lol
"Okay, well, it's payday and they're not paying anyone whose last name doesn't start with letters A through C."
Silence then a response, "Haha, that's how it goes. Sucks to be you!"
My alarm went off and I woke up, heart racing and *angry*. This can't just be surface value I'm worried about money, considering I have two jobs and make a decent living. Does anyone have any insight?
Thanks for reading!

A yacht that never went back, it only went under!
I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in and gamble all thier money challenging me! They lose and end up crying!
I leave the casino to go pray in the mosqou, i meet 2 men who run the mosquo and they tell me the mosquo's location has changed, they said too many things that i forgot what they said!
I forgot and went to the old location just to find a yacht in a sea or an ocean! I said why not hop on the yacht, anyway it will come back!
When i was on the yacht i saw islands, all the places i've been to before, it felt like a flashback of my life!
Then no more islands, it started to get darker yet darker!
Suddenly the yacht flips like 70 degree leaving me holding into it with only my head not submerged into water!
The yacht flips back to normal with a creepy annoucer voice aplogizing for the accident! At the same time a robot that looks like a creepy version of TEDD (check call of duty black ops 2's TEDD) appeared on an upper plane of the yacht, the voice seems it came from him then he disapeared! (also he seemed he was pulling down a string that caused something to emit steam, it was like the cho cho thing on trains)
The darkness kept increasing until it became completly black! I almost can't see anything!
I started asking if anyone else is on the yacht... No answer!
This time the yacht started sinking! I panicked so hard! I kept looking around in the darkness, i didn't find anyone! I was alone! I shouted as hard as I can!
While shouting i realised i was actually dreaming so i decided to shout 'til i woke up.
Then i woke up, atleast i though so because i was still in a dream!
I don' t remeber much but it was rather a normal beatiful day! The only thing not normal that my grandma said i was saying dirty shit while asleep!
I was first at a casino up a tower! I always won against people in poker that they feared to face me knowing they'd lose thier money! New people would come in...

Ridiculously expensive League of Legends merch with glowing gigantic Teemo penis sold at a hospital
My mom fractured bones from her cheeks and I accompanied her in the hospital with my extended family.
When my mom's in the MRI, everyone of us could hear her muffled screams as well as seeing the images from a screen.
My grandma noticed that the butt area of my pants are torn apart and warned me. Some of the pants/shorts I have IRL are torn apart in the crotch area, but never in the butt. Also in the dream, I was wearing white underwear when the last time I wore white underwear was when I was a child.
Timeskip. Now I'm roaming around the hospital and asking about where they sell the "league of legends champion eggs with props" and their prices. Some say 6 liras (72 US cents), some say 7 liras (84 US cents). This may seem cheap, but this dream takes place in a public hospital (aka poor people hospital) in a poor country. A normal price would be 3 to 4 lira (36 to 48 US cents).
Timeskip again. I find a white room with multiple displays that show all of the champions. There's a vending machine in front of it. I take look at Tristana, my main and fave. Her prop is a penis as long as her arm and it glows. Apparently that penis belongs to Teemo.
I put my money (can't recall the amount) in the vending machine and get an unknown champion that isn't Tristana. I get 5 liras (60 US cents) of change back and put it back in, but immediately regret it.
To all those read this, I'm really sorry.
