I had a dream last night in which I was using Tarot cards like money. If I wanted to purchase something (mostly food items) and I didn't have cash, I would just pull out a few tarot cards and use them as currency. In the dream I was doing this in little bits here and there, but consistently, so that at one point I realized that I was almost out of cards. I was ordering ice cream or something-- whatever it was, it was a temporary item-- and I began to feel bad about giving up my cards for something fleeting. Then I looked at my cards and one was bent. I think it was the Justice card, either that or Strength. I was very upset. Then I looked at my remaining cards (all major arcana), and all had flaws-- they were bent or torn. I think I started crying. Then I reminded myself that I could just go buy a new deck-- though that wasn't a particularly satisfying thought because it seemed so wasteful and I didn't have much money anyway. I am not doing so well financially lately (in my real life as well as dream life), and my waking recollection of this dream is surrounded by negative guilty feelings, and also some fear about loss. I'm not sure why I'm posting this here. It just seemed like the right thing to do. I guess I'm looking for any help in interpreting this. Thanks, Sarah

Hello Sarah, Quote: I had a dream last night in which I was using Tarot cards like money. If I wanted to purchase something (mostly food items) and I didn't have cash, I would just pull out a few tarot cards and use them as currency. Quote: I am not doing so well financially lately (in my real life as well as dream life), and my waking recollection of this dream is surrounded by negative guilty feelings, and also some fear about loss. First of all, I dream sometimes about tarot as well. :) It happens especially when I worked a lot with the cards. I think that if you look in another way to your dream it is a beautifull experience. The cards seem to be a solution, they might in real life help finding out how to overcome your financial problems. I don't think you should feel guilty, the tarot is imo meant to help people. In your dream the cards became "money", just exactly what you seem to lack. Now being awake, it might be a good idea to make a tarot spread, perhaps with someone you love or trust, to discuss together, you, friend and cards, to see how you can overcome your situation. In your dream the cards already gave you an "instant" solution by changing into money. That is very promising! Don't feel guilty, because you dared to trust on your cards in your hard times in your dream. Now let the cards, and other friends help you out in daytime. Lots of light! Blessings
