How To Figure Out Numbers and Amounts in Dreams

I am always saying, “Nothing in a dream is random. Every single detail in your dream is important and can be connected to something in your waking life.” This is particularly true when it comes to numbers and amounts of things in dreams… but of course, they are the trickiest to figure out!

In my book Dream on It, Unlock your Dreams Change Your Life, I cover numbers and amounts in dreams. it is in my last chapter entitled Rules To Remember. Here is an excerpt:
“Rule 8. Numbers and amounts in a dream are directly connected to that same number or amount in waking life. If a certain numbers shows up in a dream, then you need to put on your thinking cap and go through all the numbers in your life such as birth dates, addresses, salary, how many years you’ve been married, etc. odds are, you’ll be able to connect it to something in which case you’ll then need to ask yourself how that connection – if you connect the number in your dream to your ex boyfriend’s address, for example – is relevant to your life right now. Do the same thing when there is a specific amount of something in your dream. If you dream of three eggs, then there are likely going to be three ideas or projects in your waking life that are about to hatch.”

Recently, Katie from Chattanooga had a very specific amount of change in her dream and wanted to know what it might mean. Her dream illustrates this rule beautifully:

Dear Lauri,

I had a dream about my Dad who has passed away over 21 years ago. I’m walking towards him. He’s telling me everything is okay. There are bleachers on one side of us and a big lake on the other. He puts out his hand to me and opens it and there are two quarters and three dimes. – Katie 45, Chattanooga, TN

Lauri: The lake on one side may be the part of you that feels at peace and reflective. The bleachers on the other side may be the part of you that is feeling judged or watched. What your father shows you in his hand is very interesting. His hand is the part of you that is like him that can handle whatever difficulty is going on in your life right now. The coins could represent “change” that needs to or has been made. But more specifically the two quarters could represent half of a whole. Are you feeling divided in some way? The three dimes could represent three of something… do you have three kids? How is three significant to you? But also, together that all makes 80. So do a little thinking and see if 80 means anything to you. Was your father 80? Anything significant happen in 1980? Has anything of significance cost $80? Think along those lines and you may be able to make the connection. When you do, you have found the message!

Katie replies: All of this makes sense to me. I do feel I’m being judged very often because of my addiction, which is how I’m a lot like my father. And I can now handle the change going on in my life that had to be made for me to survive. I’m a recovering addict of 9 months. I do have three children and they are my everything and besides myself I’m doing this for them. Two of my children are adults but my nine year old, who needs me still, our favorite song is 1980. (By the group Rehab, of all names). My love for him and my desire to raise him in a loving and sound home is what drives me daily to stay sober. And this may sound crazy.. I had exactly $80 in my pocket when i decided I was done with my life of addiction and chose to turn my life around. Wow! That is quite the connection. Awesome.

How cool is that? The amount of change in Katie’s dream had a VERY powerful connection. And now that she can understand the connection, it will make her recovery even more meaningful.

Being able to not only remember but understand your dreams will bring clarity to your life. You will develop a much deeper understanding of yourself, your behavior and of the world and the people around you. Problems and difficulties can be solved with confidence and ease. That’s why when we have a tough issue to figure out we say, “let me sleep on it.” What we’re really saying is, “Let me Dream On It!” Grab your copy of my latest book Dream On It today and understand your dreams like never before

“I love Dream On It! I have referred to it for a different reason every single day since I got it. It’s been very eye-opening and all the girls in my office want to borrow it. I love how Lauri writes and breaks everything down into simple terms.” – Heather, Wichita, KS

The Importance of Numbers in Dreams (a personal story)

I am forever preaching on the air and in my books that numbers in dreams point to something very specific in your life, so when a number stands out to you in a dream you would do very well to pay attention to it and try to connect it to something in your waking life. I had a dream the other night that is a perfect example.

MY DREAM
In my dream, I was with my husband and son at an outdoor market. I came across a box of party lights. It cost 48 cents. What a bargain! I bought it, we took it home and when I opened the box, every single light bulb was broken. Just then, a deer jumped into the porch an into a pool we apparently had in the porch. Then it jumped out. As it was running off I screamed at it, “No! Come back! Don’t Go!!” Oh well. I resumed decorating the porch with the broken lights anyway.

INTERPRETATION
When I woke up, the first thing I focused on was the broken lights. Usually broken glass in a dream reflects broken hopes. Well, I certainly had my hopes broken… a couple weeks before I had miscarried at 9 weeks. Okay, I figured that part out. Now what about the number 48? That was a tough one, I had to think about it… Hmmm… I wonder… I lost the baby on January 4th, according to the doctor I conceived on Nov 17th… wow. That’s 48 days. Amazing how I consciously had not bothered to figure out how many days I was pregnant but yet my inner mind knew. The inner mind is very intune with the body. It never ceases to amaze me!

Deer in dreams are often about something or someone you hold dear to you. Obviously the baby was dear to me… it was unexpected, but still very dear. And It came into my life and left it just as suddenly as the deer jumped into and out of my dream. And this is why I yelled after the deer to “come back, don’t go.” I didn’t want that baby to go away. After my miscarriage, all I could think about was how much I wanted it back. sigh.

MORAL
But it’s okay. These things happen and we will move on and try again. And that is why my dream showed me continuing to hang up the broken lights anyway. My wise and caring dreaming mind was telling me, yes, your hopes have been broken, but that doesn’t mean they don’t work… so keep your hopes up.

Remember, all your dreams mean something. And what’s more, like every great story ever written, they also have a moral, a message, advice designed specifically for you.
