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

Money in dreams

It seems we spend our whole life going after the almighty dollar. So many of us spend our lives in jobs we hate just so we can pay the bills. We do it out of necessity. We work. We get paid and then we pay the bills. But more bills come so we continue to work, continue to get paid so we can pay… It’s an endless cycle. So when you dream of money, you might naturally think it has to do with your finances. Sometimes it does but, more often than not, money in dreams isn’t about your monetary currency but rather your emotional and psychological currency, that which we pay out to others in the form of love, time and/or respect and that which we earn and receive in the form of compliments, gratitude, respect and so on. Just like monetary currency, emotional and psychological currency is an earn and pay process but that is often far more rewarding!

Below is an example of how our dreams will use the form of money to give us a message about how our emotional and psychological currency transactions are going. The following is from my nationally syndicated newspaper column The Dream Zone:

Dear Lauri,
I dreamed I was in an office somewhere. I opened a drawer and saw an envelope with cash in it. I started taking some and felt really terrible about taking it, but couldn’t stop.
– Noreen 61, Philadelphia, PA

Lauri: The office setting suggests this is connected to an issue you have been working on or that has been a lot of work for you. Cash in dreams is usually connected to your self-worth as well as the value others see in you. This is why we “pay” someone a compliment. But in your dream you took rather than being paid. Have you recently felt you weren’t being given the credit or appreciation you feel you deserve? Also, think about how you felt in the dream and see if it compares to something similar in real life. What have you been feeling bad about lately?

Noreen replies: You are right, I’m not feeling appreciated. I have done so much for my daughter and I barely ever get a thank you. I watched my first grandson every day for the first 5 years of his life. I gave up everything in my own life to do it. I’d do it over again because of the relationship I have with him, but she’s never acknowledged what I did for her or the money I saved her. We’ve loaned her and her husband money, painted their house and other things. Not only do they barely acknowledge anything we’ve done, they barely talk to us when we’re at their house. We were there yesterday so this may be why I dreamed it last night.

Lauri replies: It’s hard to let go of resentment when someone treats you that way. But, the grandkids are worth it. Maybe that’s the message. That’s your payment for all your work.

Noreen replies: Wow. That sounds just right. Thank you so much for all your input. You have hit the nail on the head.

Dreams are so very powerful and have so so much information inside of them, when you know how to understand them. My latest book Dream on It is very thorough and will teach you how the dreaming mind works. It’s been so effective that it has been featured on Dr. Oz, the Bethenny Frankel Show, Fox Business and more! It also includes a chapter on animals in dreams and how they are connected to our behaviors and instincts. Once you’ve read Dream on It you’ll never look at your dreams the same again!

Want to read Dream on It right now? It’s available on Nook and Kindle!

“I’m still reading Dream On It and can’t put in down. I’ve been dreaming a lot more or remembering them since I started to read it, but now my dreams are making sense. Thank you for a well written and enjoyable read.” – Margie Ward, Upper Darby, PA
