Beggar
Beggars, Begging, Asking for spare change
A beggar in a dream brings two roles face to face: the one who asks and the one who can give or refuse. If you met someone begging, the dream often asks how freely you share what you have, from money to time or a kind word, and how it felt to be asked. If you were begging yourself, you may feel you have to plead for something you should be able to expect, like attention, respect or a fair share at home or at work. Old stories are full of beggars who turn out to be kings, saints or gods in disguise, so the dream may also remind you to treat everyone with dignity.
