Giving and receiving gifts in dreams can be a sign that you literally need to ‘give and take’ in a relationship, that is you may need to be mindful of what your partner wants and/or your partner may need to be more mindful of what you want in life?
If you are giving the gift in your dream it may reflect a need for you to show your feelings or emotions to others or someone in particular? The opposite is true if you dream that you are receiving a gift, that it could be you wish for someone else to express their emotions or feelings towards you?
A gift in a dream can also represent a metaphorical “gift” – a talent or skill that you possess or something, such as a happy family life or a fulfilling career, that brings joy to your life.
If you dream that somebody gives you a gift, it can be a sign that you are becoming aware of, or are developing your talents.
You may dream of being given a gift when you are having a difficult time. This is a reminder to appreciate the good things that you do have.
A gift in a dream can represent self-knowledge or spiritual awareness.
If you dream that you give a gift to someone, it can mean that you wish to share your talents with others or that you are being selfish.
A dream that it is your birthday and you are receiving gifts can mean that you achieved a goal and are now entering a new phase in your life.
If you dream that it is your birthday and you do not receive any gifts, you may feel that your accomplishments have not been appreciated.
