To dream you are rich or that you have inherited a fortune, is a sign of poverty and bad luck; but if you imagine that some one pays you large sums of money enough to make you rich, your dream will be realized so far that you will acquire property. If a person dreams that a legacy is paid to him in money, it has an entirely different meaning from a dream that you are enriched from a legacy, but do not see the money.
