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.
Stranger
Strangers in dreams often represent unknown aspects of yourself — the parts of your personality you haven't yet recognized or integrated. A friendly stranger may represent untapped potential, while a threatening stranger could symbolize repressed fears or shadow qualities. Recurring strangers may become more familiar as you become more self-aware.
