Debt
Debt often touches the weight of obligation — worries in business and love, the struggle to meet what's owed. The dream may ask where you feel you're falling short of your commitments, whether you have enough to cover them or are scrambling, and how the burden of owing is pressing on both your livelihood and your heart.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for debt, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
Debt is rather a bad dream, foretelling worries in business and love, and struggles for a competency; but if you have plenty to meet all your obligations, your affairs will assume a favorable turn.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of paying a debt with money, foretells that you will soon receive some. If you imagine that you owe a debt, and are worrying to get the money to pay, it is a sign of sickness.
