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.
Taking an Exam
Exam dreams — especially about exams you haven't studied for — are classic anxiety dreams. They reflect self-evaluation, fear of being judged, and concerns about measuring up to standards. These dreams persist well into adulthood, often decades after school, because the fundamental anxiety about being tested never fully disappears.
