What could this dream mean???

This dream means that you are having feelings of guilt about your role in the family. If you do not presently work or bring in money to the family perhaps this is bothering you. You should talk about this with your husband. Remember a mother is doing the family and society a favour by not working and being home with the kids who are apt to be more well adjusted in a home environment. If you think that doing the motherly thing is bringing money into the home by raising better adjusted kids then you are contributing to the family situation. Taking the money which as you say was not useful, especially when hidden between the photo and the matting is just symbolic. Had you stolen bills that could easily be spent then that would be different. How do you spend a $100 thousand dollar bill or do they even exist? The nature preserve is also symbolic as it is returning you to a peaceful, natural link to the earth and the environment. It is a place usually not tainted by money or man's greed. You are caught in between the burden of money in your life and the carefree life of nature. Do not read too much into all of this as dreams usually represent the opposites of your life, and by dreaming about these things it is your brains attempt to have some experiences that your current life does not presently afford you. If this is a recurring dream then there may be a problem but so don't worry about it. Buy a lottery ticket and who knows maybe you will be lucky, now that would be a real steal.
