MATERIAL
Biblical dream symbol meaning
How material appeared in your dream
Dreaming of gathering or accumulating material possessions or goods — Represents earthly treasures and the temporal nature of worldly wealth, warning against laying up treasures on earth where moth and rust corrupt. This symbol calls for spiritual evaluation of priorities and storing treasures in heaven instead.
Matthew 6:19-20Luke 12:151 Timothy 6:17
Seeing raw materials or building materials in a dream — Symbolizes the resources and spiritual gifts God has provided for building His kingdom and constructing one's spiritual life. The quality and use of these materials reflect whether one builds with gold, silver, and precious stones or with wood, hay, and stubble.
1 Corinthians 3:12-13Exodus 35:5Haggai 1:8
Dreaming of material wealth hindering movement or weighing you down — Indicates that earthly possessions or materialistic pursuits are becoming a spiritual burden that hinders faith and discipleship.
