Gift in a dream
In folk belief, a gift in a dream means attention and surprise: someone cares enough to want to delight you.
Old dream books read a gift as an exchange of affection. When you receive one, it is believed someone values you and will show it, and when you give one, that you have a big heart. A nicely wrapped package is read as a surprise not yet revealed, so the dream also carries a little sweet anticipation. People remind us that a gift's worth is not in its price, but in the fact that someone thought of you in particular. That is why this is a dream that warms.

Dreaming of receiving a gift
By tradition, someone is thinking of you and wants you to know it. The dream is read as a kind word or gesture that will touch you.
Dreaming of giving someone a gift
Generosity and a wish to make another person happy, so the folk reading goes. Kindness, it is believed, comes back when you least expect it.
Dreaming of unwrapping a gift
The old folks say a pleasant discovery lies ahead of you. The dream carries curiosity and tells you not to guess, but to wait and see.
Dreaming of many gifts
It is believed a holiday, a celebration or a day in the spotlight is coming. The dream says you are dear to quite a number of people.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
