Gold
Gold often touches both ambition and worth—the longing to be valued, or the fear of squandering something irreplaceable. Perhaps the dream asks less about fortune itself and more about what you believe you deserve to hold.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for gold, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you handle gold in your dream, you will be unusually successful in all enterprises. For a woman to dream that she receives presents of gold, either money or ornaments, she will marry a wealthy but mercenary man.
To find gold, indicates that your superior abilities will place you easily ahead in the race for honors and wealth.
If you lose gold, you will miss the grandest opportunity of your life through negligence.
To dream of finding a gold vein, denotes that some uneasy honor will be thrust upon you.
If you dream that you contemplate working a gold mine, you will endeavor to usurp the rights of others, and should beware of domestic scandals.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Metals, also Money.) To dream of receiving gold, is a very good omen: it denotes success in your present undertakings, after experiencing some little difficulties. If you pay gold, it betokens increase of friends and business.
