Want
Want — the state of lacking — often touches having ignored life's realities and chased folly into sorrow, though contentment within want means bearing misfortune with heroism. The dream may ask where you're feeling deprived, and whether the lack is the fruit of unwise pursuits or a hardship you can meet so steadily the gloom disperses.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for want, 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 are in want, denotes that you have unfortunately ignored the realities of life, and chased folly to her stronghold of sorrow and adversity.
If you find yourself contented in a state of want, you will bear the misfortune which threatens you with heroism, and will see the clouds of misery disperse.
To relieve want, signifies that you will be esteemed for your disinterested kindness, but you will feel no pleasure in well doing.
