Scarcity
Scarcity — the dread of not having enough — often touches sorrow in the household and failing affairs, though some read it by contraries toward coming abundance. The dream may ask where you're feeling the pinch of lack, and whether the shortage weighing on you signals hard times ahead or, oddly, that plenty of the missing thing is near.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for scarcity, 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 of scarcity, foretells sorrow in the household and failing affairs.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of a scarcity of anything is a sign that some of the article dreamed about is on its way to you; as if a farmer were to dream of a scarcity of hay, it shows that his next hay crop will be very abundant.
