Poor
Appearing poor — yourself or friends — often touches worry and losses, though some read poverty by contraries toward good luck. The dream may ask where you fear falling into want, and whether the lack you're dreading is a genuine warning about your security or, oddly, a sign that fortune may turn your way despite appearances.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for poor, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream that you, or any of your friends, appear to be poor, is significant of worry and losses.
[167] See Pauper.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of poverty is a sign of good luck, but if you imagine you are so poor as to be induced to beg, it foretells that some one will either insult you or hurt your feelings, but yet your luck will not be impaired.
