"I have lost my way in New-York city, and was afraid to pick up the 200$ bills" - Dream interpretation about traveling

Excerpt: Have you ever dreamt that you visit another country? Each night we travel to distant places. We go out of our narrowly focused consciousness and dive into the near earth realms (mostly) and the far edges of the inner universes. Our minds who are responsible to report back to us upon awakening need to find known symbols for those distant places and hence, we travel about other counties, like New York city in this example.

Hello,

I had a really strange dream, that I was in New York with my husband and his family watching some performance. I got lost, couldn't find them, and suddenly I saw an ATM with $200, as if someone had pulled money and forgot to take it. I did not take the money as I was afraid. Suddenly a woman came and took the $200.

I went on and on and again there was an ATM and there were people next to it, and I saw bills of NIS 20 (new Israeli shekels) below and I took about four of them, even though there were more. I got scared and didn't know how to get to the house we were staying at. I didn't know the address and started searching for my way back. And then I saw my father-in-law and my brother-in-law go with someone, I called them and they did not hear me, so I started running after the car and could not catch them. I tried to find my way back to the concert and found my mother-in-law.

What is the meaning of all this? I am 28 years old and next month I will be travelling abroad with my husband and my father-in-law.

The dream reflects for you the separate places where you and New York are located. I do not mean physical incompatibility but consciousness-wise. In other words, the city of New York represents for you one thing (that you should know what), perhaps a particular worldview, a special way of life, and so on, which is different from the place of consciousness in which you are today. You have a problem connecting to the consciousness of New York City (you do not take the dollar bills) but you have no problem being connected to the local consciousness (you take the bills in Israeli shekels).

Later in the dream, you get lost in the streets, lose your way, and all this indicates that you are in a foreign place in your consciousness, exposed to new worlds, new beliefs, unfamiliar worldviews and new energy.

This dream should be seen as a reflection of the natural growth of your consciousness. You open up to the world, into new places within you, new and natural ways of life that your ego will feel threatened by. What you might want to do is reassure it, tell your ego that you are safe, that its survival is reassured even if you grow and expand, and that your openness to new experiences is welcome and desirable.

Incidentally, this inner process will bring more enjoyment in your coming trip.
