In a dream, if by mistake, one sends the bank draft to the wrong destination or to another country that produces the same type of products, in this case his dream means that he will lose his investment or recover his capital cost after some hardship.

…instrument for justice and judgment. His measuring pennies are his fights with people. A money exchanger in a dream also represents a religious doctor or a scholar who takes religious questions and interprets their definitions. He also could be a dream interpreter who measures everything he takes in and gives an appropriate answer. He takes a pearl necklace for a price and gives words in return, or he takes scattered words and gives a beautiful pearl necklace in exchange. If one who is experiencing difficulties in wakefulness changes some money in a dream, it means that his difficulties will diminish. If one buys gold coins and gives silver money in exchange in a dream, it means reparation, financial obligations or liability. Seeing a money exchanger in a dream also represents wealth, or quick richness from suspicious sources, or he could represent an accountant, a bookkeeper, or a ledger keeper….

…(Greed) To chew food other than for grinding or eating one’s meal in a dream means an illness or loss of appetite. Chewing gum in a dream means earning money coupled with ugly words that will grow to become a big fight and that will lead to a court appearance. The source of it all begins with greed. Anything that is chewed in a dream means an exchange of words. The only exception to it is chewing a stick of sugar cane in a dream. In that case, it means lauding someone or hearing pleasing words one desires to hear over and over. (Also see Chewing food | Chewing gum | Greed)…

…Firewood in a dream means slander and backbiting. If one puts two or three logs to burn in the fire in a dream, it means that an argument will take place or that an exchange of rough words will grow beyond one’s control. If a religious person sees timber in his dream, it means that he will commits a major sin such as theft, murder, or adultery, he will then be caught and put to justice.

…criticism. If you see a woman with golden blond hair, it suggests the probability to engage in an affair with a friend’s wife, which involves various dangers. If you dream of someone that has curly hair, it indicates that you will disappoint people who visit you at home, and every woman that trusts you; this same dream indicates that a woman is exposed to seduction. Dreaming that you’re covered with hair means that you like immoralities and that may drive you away from society and all types of decent attitudes. This same dream for a woman (or that she discovers her own hair long) indicates desire for independence to satisfy her impulses in exchange for the rules of morality. Dreaming that you’re covered with hair also suggests that due to an excess of generosity, you’ll end up poor, both in material goods and health, which will produce distressing concerns….

…few yards away from me, and in a quavering falsetto voice cried out to me to stop.Complying with his request, I approached the edge of the pit, when out of it sprang an enormous lion. It had hurled me to the ground, and was in the act of mauling my throat, when I awoke. I interpret the foregoing dream thus:The kangaroo signified a journey; the bees, success in financial matters; dancing, minor troubles; whistling, a lover’s quarrel; metamorphose to a monkey, the breaking off of a marriage through my agency; the lion, marriage.Shortly after this dream I went to the Pacific Coast of America; a great friend of mine was very successful in his speculations on the Stock Exchange but was much worried over a series of troubles at home; whilst another friend, equally dear to me, foolishly got engaged to the daughter of a nouveau riche who was vulgar…

…Dreaming that you see a friend but you don’t speak to him, implies that someone is willing to help you without asking for something in exchange; if your friend slowly goes away until getting out of sight, it suggests that the dreamer has multiple projects and dreams, but no one offers help (this is worse if it’s dark in the dream). When a woman dreams of being very depressed because she has very few friends, it means that she won’t have immediate success in her economic life, because there is no one to help her to achieve the things she wants. When a woman dreams of many friends means that she aims to have a comfortable, relaxed and even rich and luxurious life. If it is a young single woman who dreams of friends, it indicates that she wants to find a husband who is opulent. Dreaming of talking…

…dressed. As I sat down the latter looked up, and I saw, or fancied I saw, a sudden liking for me sparkle in her blue eyes, so that my heart went out to her straight. I was not accustomed to be noticed by women, and her interest was pleasant in my loneliness. Probably my face showed her what I thought, for she lowered her eyes quickly, with just the ghost of a smile on her full red lips.This exchange of glances did not escape the man’s observation. He frowned at me in such a menacing manner that I felt apprehensive as to his next movements; he was evidently jealous, whence I inferred that he must be either the husband or lover of the pretty girl; and ridiculous as it may seem, I rebelled against the idea, and began to form plans for freeing her from him, for — I assured…

…a religious point of view. Water in a dream also denotes the drink of poor people, or what gallant people exchange and share among themselves. If a thirsty person quenches his thirst with water in a dream, it means comfort, appeasement of one’s bewilderments, prosperity verses poverty, or reuniting one’s family. Bathing in fresh spring water in a dream means payment of one’s debts. If sweet and potable water becomes salty in a dream, it means apostasy, or straying from the path of God Almighty and meeting with insurmountable difficulties. Car- rying water in a container in a dream means conceiving a child and increase in one’s income. Abundance of water at a time when it is supposed to be low, or drought at a time when it is supposed to be raining in a dream means injustice, abuse, high prices, divided opinions, weaknesses, or payment of financial damages. Clear…

To dream we take shelter under an umbrella reveals the desire to run away from responsibilities and obstacles in life. It also indicates that if we accept protection it will be in exchange for losing our dignity and independence.

…sold. Being auctioned in a dream means evil. To sell means to part with. In a dream, the buyer is the seller and the seller is a buyer. Selling means giving preference and value to the merchandise. If what is being sold is worldly, the preference is then given to one’s benefits in the hereafter. Selling in a dream also means exchanging one condition with another. However, bartering in a dream means to exchange the benefit of things, or to share them. If for example one sees himself in a dream trading something of no value for something precious, and if he is a warrior, it means that he will die as a martyr. Selling a free man in a dream means rotation of power and reaching a praiseworthy end. As it happened in the story of Joseph son of Jacob, upon both of them be peace. (See Introduction)…

Dreaming about one or more traders in action suggests that the dreamer’s nature is very restless, maybe dynamic but very indecisive, in need of exchange of ideas and plans with other people, but none of that has been able to fully come to life due to the fact that the dreamer leads a very sedentary life, or lives in a very unpleasant environment, all of which are demanding changes. Dreaming of acting in trade or finance or economic speculations, insinuates that the dreamer feels capable and with enough self-confidence to perform various activities successfully, no matter what type of activities they are.
