To dream of scarcity, foretells sorrow in the household and failing affairs.

Original source (English)
To dream of a scarcity of anything is a sign that some of the article dreamed about is on its way to you; as if a farmer were to dream of a scarcity of hay, it shows that his next hay crop will be very abundant; or, if a girl should dream of a scarcity of compliments, she will probably be overwhelmed by them from gentlemen, when she next goes into company.
