THE DREAM I was in some very poor place. There were several friends there. It was like a shared open boarding house. Someone was going through my things (some kind of intruder or busy body) and had seen my savings book. I was found out because they knew I had money. Later my brother was there and he was with his daughter and his best friend who were with him as friends. I saw him and tried to avoid him but was seen.

REAL LIFE The dreamers brother was in financial difficulties. The dreamer herself had a small income but always managed to put save. She currently had twenty thousand dollars in savings. She did not want to lend money to her brother because he could be irresponsible with money and often tried to lend money without paying it back. She especially hated people knowing she had lots of savings as she might become a target for people who needed money. She therefore kept it a complete secret.

DREAM ANALYSIS This dream has a simple theme as the dreamer is trying to avoid her brother. It also features someone finding out that she has substantial savings. These two themes were really relevant to the dreamer as she had been trying to avoid her brother because he was short of cash and had a tendency to lend money without paying it back. So we can guess with a great deal of accuracy that the dream captures this specific thought "I am trying to avoid my brother as he might want to lend money. I would hate for him to know that I have plenty in the bank as that would make me a target."

There is a final strong symbol which helps further confirm the dreams meaning. The dreamers brother appears with his daughter and also their best friend. There seems to be a strong emphasis on relatives appearing alongside best friends. This could hint at thoughts like "my brother might turn up showing how much we are friends and not just relatives" and with that "if my brother knew I had savings then he would start turning up emphasising how much we were best friends not just relatives."
