Money

Mask
Masks represent the personas we wear, deception (others' or our own), and the hidden self behind public appearances. Wearing a mask suggests concealing your true self. Removing a mask represents authenticity and vulnerability. A mask falling off unexpectedly indicates fear of being exposed. Others wearing masks may reflect distrust or the recognition that people aren't showing their true faces.
Money
Money in dreams represents self-worth, personal power, and the energy of exchange. Finding money may indicate discovering hidden talents or self-worth. Losing money reflects fear of loss or diminished self-esteem. Counting money might indicate evaluating your personal assets — not just financial, but emotional and spiritual.
