Insolvent

Insolvency dreamed of often touches the fear of not being able to meet what you owe — though your energy and pride may yet carry you through fairly. The dream may ask where you worry about falling short of your obligations, whether your own resourcefulness can square the account, and what other worries press even where the books balance.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for insolvent, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

If you dream that you are insolvent, you will not have to resort to this means to square yourself with the world, as your energy and pride will enable you to transact business in a fair way. But other worries may sorely afflict you.

To dream that others are insolvent, you will meet with honest men in your dealings, but by their frankness they may harm you. For a young woman, it means her sweetheart will be honest and thrifty, but vexatious discords may arise in her affairs.
