Borrowing
Borrowing in a dream is leaning on what is not ours, and the old books read it as a sign of loss and meagre support, a strain on the lender. The dream tends to touch dependence and the debts we take on, and to ask where we are relying on borrowed resources, and what it costs to keep asking.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for borrowing, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Borrowing is a sign of loss and meagre support. For a banker to dream of borrowing from another bank, a run on his own will leave him in a state of collapse, unless he accepts this warning. If another borrows from you, help in time of need will be extended or offered you. True friends will attend you.
