Loss
LOST WALLET
A wallet or purse holds not only
our money and credit cards, but
also our driver’s license, membership
cards, and often private treasures.
When it goes missing, it’s as if our
identity has been stolen: the loss
carries psychological implications.
When we dream of losing our wallet
or purse, we dream of the fear of
losing a part of ourselves.

Lost Wallet
YOU CAN’T PAY FOR
YOUR ITEMS
You are on a spending spree, selecting only
expensive items. At the register, your goods are
packed; laden plastic bags sit on the counter.
The time has arrived to pay, but your wallet,
containing all your money and cards, is missing.
Mortied, you watch the assistants take the
bags away. They look embarrassed.
Action What events led up to this dream? Are
you aching to spend money you don’t have?
On one level, the dream oers you the goods
you think you want—but is that really true? On
another level, there’s a high price to pay, and
your psyche has shown you embarrassment all
around if you decide to embark on a spending
spree. Be patient and wait to save up money
only for what you can aord.
YOUR WALLET GOES
MISSING ON A JOURNEY
In the middle of a train journey to a new
destination, you are asked to show your ticket.
You reach for your wallet; it is missing. You
search among your pockets, but it is nowhere to
be found—no ticket, no money. Frightened, you
wake up with a jolt.
Action You want to explore new places and
yearn for a break. But your dream indicates
you haven’t thought through the details
closely enough. If a change is planned, pay
attention to your nances. Your “ticket” also
represents the practicalities involved in
making changes. Is it appropriate to
consider them right now?
YOU TRY TO BUY FRIENDSHIP
In a strange town, you’re at the bar about to buy a
lonely drink. A large group of people arrive and
start to order their drinks. Anxious in the dream to
make friends quickly and be popular, you oer to
pay for a round. When the bartender tells you
how much you owe, you reach for your wallet
and are shocked: it’s no longer there. Everyone
picks up their chosen drink and carries on talking
among themselves, ignoring you.
Action Buying friendship in real life doesn’t
work. Those people had their own agendas to
make friends and be popular. No one in your
dream noticed your predicament, nor did
anyone oer to pay your bar tab. Surely, the
rst step to a real friendship might mean
waiting for the authentic ones to come to you
rst, or you oering to help them out of a
dicult situation, like the dream scenario.
