Deprivation – Deprivation symbolizes self-denial of something in your life. You are denying yourself too much and need to allow yourself to splurge on something that you have been wanting for a long time. While saving money is always a good thing, sometimes it can be taken too far. Alternatively, dreaming about deprivation might also be a reflection of your day to day life. If you are having a hard time making ends meet, this dream might simply be a reflection of your desire to break the cycle that you are in.
