Traditional reading

Happily handing someone a gift means the kindness you give returns as greater blessings. If the recipient beams, your relationships improve; if your gift is refused, it means you should share your feelings a little more slowly.

Through the heart

Giving a gift reflects a wish to express gratitude, an apology, or affection. If someone came to mind that you'd like to look after, they may be the real subject of this dream.

Lucky or unlucky?

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
