Martha Clarke Interpretation: If you are given alms in a dream, an economic project that you have underway may fail. However, it also means that you get by with little. Although a dream about alms seems to have only connotations related to money, it may also be linked to the spiritual realm.
If you ask for alms but do not receive them, it means you are going through a precarious time. But if you give alms to another person, it may be an omen of unexpected gains.
Alms are an omen of triumph over the difficulties and of longevity.
(Given) great joy.
(Received) loss of enemy.
This is, in some respects, a dream of contrary, for if you dreamed you were begging or receiving alms, you will have an improvement in your financial status; you will also be lucky if, in your dream, you gave alms generously; but if you refused a beggar or gave reluctantly, the forecast is of some unexpected hardships to be overcome.
If in your dream, some one begs of you, and you refuse, it is a sign of misfortune for the dreamer. But if you give, and give freely, then it is a sign of great happiness, either to yourself, or to some intimate friend.
To dream they are begged of you, and you deny to give them, shows want and misery to the dreamer; but to dream that you give them freely, is a sign of great joy, and long life to the dreamer or some particular friend of his.
To give or to receive alms indicates that your business will be successful and you will become wealthy.
Alms will bring evil if given or taken unwillingly. Otherwise, a good dream.
