Losing your purse, or even having it stolen is actually a very common dream. For men, it is common to lose your wallet. It can sometimes refer to money issues but the more common meaning might surprise you! Read on to find out what it means…
Dear Lauri,
I had a dream last night that I was in a mall and set my purse down to look at something. A man came up to me and started making small talk. I got a bad vibe like he was distracting me. I looked down and my purse was gone! I ran toward the entrance of the store to find the person but there were too many people and I knew it would be impossible. It was at this point when I woke up. – Julie 41, Wausau, WI
Lauri: To your dreaming mind, your purse symbolizes your sense of self, your credibility and your self worth because that is where we keep our IDs, credit cards and money. In your dream your purse was stolen, which means someone else is getting the credit or recognition you deserve. The crowd of people in your dream suggests you feel you are not able to stand out in a crowd. Were you recently up for a promotion but didn’t get it? Or was there some other situation where you were hoping to get noticed but weren’t?
Julie Replies: I found your interpretation very interesting and I was surprised how on the mark it was. Recently I have felt that my role at work and at home has not been very important. I’ve always been one to love the limelight but lately I feel my accomplishments aren’t noticed or appreciated and that I am losing the confidence I usually have. There are so many talented people around me and I feel it’s hard to measure up, let alone stand out.
Celebrity Dream:
Mariah Carey has – for most of her life – had recurring dreams of losing her purse as well! She has reported that being inter-racial made her feel that she doesn’t fully belong to either race. And being made fun of as a child certainly didn’t help that either. I wonder if all those mean kids are laughing at her now?

i HAVE A DREAM ABOUT LOOSING MY POCKETBOOK AND AM SEARCHING FOR IT. THEN I REALIZE I NEVER CARRY ONE.
AND I WOKE UP WHAT DOES THAT MEAN
What does it mean when you have a dream of a dead loved one being alive again at your wedding reception and they loose they’re wallet, then after running around frantic you remember that person is dead?
I’m here because a small child stole my wallet in my dream I was also in a large crowd… frustrated as no one would serve me coffee…but I managed to get my wallet back off the young boy…instead of punishing him I befriended him I found out he was living on the streets with his brothers and that their father had left them so they turned to crime …I felt a lot of warmth to these boys and tried to inspire them about different ways they could make money!
What’s up,I read your blog named “Ever dream you lose your purse? Lauri Loewenberg” daily.Your writing style is witty, keep up the good work! And you can look our website about love spell.
Ok you were right on about the dreaming loss of purse. Just yesterday I got very disturbed with a remark in which the person said, I was not a Jazz singer but could be one but, that I was more of a Broadway show singer (which I am not)I felt like I was being told I did not belong in their club. I realised from years of dream study that “I had lost my value or valuables.” He had not meant to imply that I was not a wonderful singer, only that I did not fit in a certain catagory. I have 3 shelves of dream books, but I will need to add yours because I know you know something and you are of value in the world of dream interpretation!! Glad I fouond your blog when I was seeing if I could find what others had to say about losing a purse with wallet inside. In my dream I got a bus load of people gone a long way before I realized I left my purse and though trying to get back to the street corner where I had left my suitcase and my purse, I felt I knew it would not be there when I returned.
