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.
River
Rivers represent the flow of life, time, and emotional energy. A calm river suggests going with the flow and accepting life's current direction. Turbulent rapids indicate emotional turbulence or challenging transitions. Crossing a river symbolizes making an important transition. The direction of the river, its clarity, and its speed all add meaning. In many traditions, rivers separate the world of the living from the dead.
