What does it mean when you dream about paper money? It depends precisely on what that money looks like and what you did with it. What happened to the notes you saw in your money dreams?
Dreaming of Paper Money Meaning
Dreaming of paper money is usually a sign of good things to come. It typically symbolizes good fortune and good health, but not always.
When you dream about money notes, paper money, or dollar bills, pay careful attention to the state of the money you find. Wrinkled money and clean, crisp bills have very different dream meanings.
Unlike coins and silver, which are rigid and solid, paper money is easy to destroy. If you’ve ever run a dollar bill through the washing machine or dryer, you know what I mean.
Dream interpretation changes based on the characteristics and qualities of the money you see. When you wake from a dream about paper money, ask yourself how that money looked.
The Meaning of Old Paper Money and Money Notes
If the money notes are crumpled or old, it means you need to look at life in a new way. If the paper money is wrinkled, your dream may indicate lost opportunities or the need for a change.
Perhaps you feel bored. Maybe something in your waking life needs to be renewed or reinvigorated. This dream indicates that you are tired of your current circumstances and looking to try something new.
The Meaning of New Paper Money and Money Notes
If the paper money is crisp and new, your dream may indicate excitement and possibilities, symbolizing important things to come.
If the dollars are clean and crisp, they may symbolize material wealth, success, and good luck.
Money represents pride and satisfaction. Are you proud of your current path and confident in your waking life?
Seeing new paper money in your dream may provide proof of your happiness.
The Meaning of Counterfeit Money in Your Dream
If the paper in your dream is counterfeit money, it may signify that someone in life is trying to deceive you. Pay special attention to the people around you.
Could your loved ones or business partners act dishonestly? Would they be willing to trick you for material gain? Fake money is almost always a sign of deception.
Interpretation Examples: Dreaming of Paper Money
Finding money means different things depending on the state of the money you find.
If you find crisp, clean paper notes in a briefcase, you may need to make an important business decision. If you find crinkled paper notes in your attaché, you should be suspicious of shady business deals.
After reflecting on the characteristics of the money you see, ask yourself another question. Where was the money in your dream?
The Meaning of Seeing Paper Money In a Dream
Where you find money matters because dream interpretation differs based on location.
If you see money on the ground, you may feel unstable in waking life. If you see money in the air, you may need to act more creatively. If you see money in the water, you may feel at peace.
Seeing money just out of reach may mean you are getting closer to your goals.
Dreaming About Picking Up Paper Money
Did you dream about picking up paper money in your dream? Spiritually, reaching down to the ground represents the need to feel centered. Does your life feel unstable?
Sometimes we reach down to brace ourselves. Dreaming about picking up paper money could signify the need for stability. Perhaps a new job opportunity or relationship will provide a steady future.
Dreaming About Seeing Paper Money in the Air
Is the money located high in a tree, on a hot air balloon, or simply swirling in the air around you? How did you attempt to reach the money you saw?
If you need to think outside the box to acquire paper money in a dream, you may need to do the same to solve a problem in real life.
Dreaming of Finding Paper Money Meaning
If you dream of finding paper money, think about where you saw that money. Did you have to change the direction of your body to reach it?
Seeing paper money to the left or right may mean it’s time to search for a new course. Are you considering a significant life change? Do you want to find a new job, move to a new city, or end your relationship?
On the other hand, finding money just below your feet may mean you are on the right path in life.
If you find buried treasure below your feet but can’t access it, you may need to dig into your past to rectify a troubled relationship.
Reaching that treasure chest and finding money inside may mean your deepest wishes will come true.
The Meaning of Losing Paper Money in a Dream
Losing paper money might symbolize a difficult decision or a recent event that left you in an anxious or depressed state.
Losing money can represent a dysfunctional relationship, a recent breakup, or the death of a loved one. Sometimes losing paper money is a sign that you are worried about the near future.
The Meaning of Winning Paper Money in a Dream
If your dream of winning money, you probably feel confident and happy. If you win a giant stack of clean, crisp dollar bills, you will feel excited when you wake from your dream.
Winning paper money in a dream may mean feeling positive about your career, relationships, or health.
The Meaning of Counting Paper Money in a Dream
Counting paper money in a dream may mean you are feeling uncertain. Perhaps you count dollar bills or money notes to see if you have enough to buy something you want.
Counting money might mean you feel the world is unfair. Were you passed up for promotion or overlooked by someone you admire?
You may be counting your money to see if you measure up to your coworkers or your ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend.
Giving and Receiving Money in a Dream
Sometimes we find money in a dream, and other times we are given money by those we know and love.
We can also give money to friends, family, and even strangers who need our help. Giving money usually makes us feel joyful, but sometimes we give reluctantly.
How you give money changes the interpretation of this dream. I wrote a detailed post about dreaming of someone giving you money because it’s a frequent dream of mine.

“On the other hand, finding money just below your feet may mean you are on the right path in life.”

I did some therapy work with someone almost a year ago and I knew they couldn’t afford to pay me, that was fine. Anyway, last night I dreamed that this someone came into my office and I was genuinely happy to see them and then they had a massive wad of notes, far more than I would have charged them for the work I did, but they said it was for me. It was all fanned out. I’ve never thought about payment since doing the work, so this was weird. What does it mean?
