Butterfly
Butterflies are universal symbols of transformation, emerging from the cocoon of the old self into something beautiful and free. Butterfly dreams often appear during major life changes — career shifts, relationship beginnings/endings, or personal growth milestones. The colors of the butterfly add layers of meaning.
Finding Money
Finding money in dreams represents discovering hidden value within yourself — talents, capabilities, or opportunities you didn't know existed. It can also represent unexpected good fortune approaching. The amount matters: small change suggests minor discoveries, while finding large sums indicates major unrealized potential. Where you find the money adds context (under furniture suggests looking beneath the surface).
