Dream Guide · Objects

What does dreaming about treasure & gold mean in the Bible?

Where your treasure is, your heart follows

Jesus keeps treasure-talk about the heart: what you store up shows what you love, and the kingdom is a treasure worth selling everything to gain. Refined gold is His picture of tested faith. A treasure dream may probe what you are really pursuing — or remind you of the surpassing worth of what you already hold in Christ. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, treasure & gold is filed under objects — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Matthew 6:21, Matthew 13:44, 2 Corinthians 4:7. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to treasure & gold, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.
