Wages
Wages — earned pay for labour done — often touch unlooked-for good for new ventures if received, confounding dissatisfaction if paid out, and unfriendly interest if reduced. The dream may ask where the return on your effort is being settled, and whether what you're owed reflects a fair, rising reward or a quiet erosion worth watching.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for wages, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

To pay out wages, denotes that you will be confounded by dissatisfaction.
To have your wages reduced, warns you of unfriendly interest that is being taken against you.
