Oooh I just remembered - the reason the white in the first "i" stands out was because that was supposed to be symbolic of Spirit....if that helps in any way!

Jackie,
My sense of your dream is it is focused on issues of self worth. On the inside you are a good, caring {spiritual?} person but on the outside you have issues with self worth. These issues could stem from life experiences that made you feel dirty which cause the issues of self worth {self esteem?}. Your brother may have some associations with these experiences {may have shared early life environment} but he would also represent your inner masculine aspects. You possess an impoverished impression of yourself which was caused by earlier life experiences. Inner changes {psychological} are needed to overcome these negative emotions. This may be due to negative masculine experiences {male} in early life which would cause a weak 'masculine' aspect {strength to make the needed changes in your psychology}.

Perhaps the best way to describe the dream message {symbolic/metaphorical} would be the dream statement; Why are these coins so dirty? Where did I get them?? I see a wheaty penny in there and I tell myself "You don't want to give that one! You want to keep it!"

The coins would represent your self worth. Why do you feel 'dirty' inside/about yourself? The wheat penny would be your true self {dreams are about the true self, attempting to bring wholeness to the outer life} which is worth a lot more than you feel about yourself. This is the aspect you want to/need to keep and not the negative impressions you have of yourself. The issue does seem to run deep since the dream ends with "the wheaty penny made it to the mix and I see it and grab it quickly to replace it with a different penny." The value of who you really are has been replaced by the negative early life impressions causing feelings of being less than you really are.

As for the Spirit aspect you noted. It could represent innocence {white}, the innocent soul at birth. You are sandwiched between {oreo} conflicting forces {negative experiences in early life that remain in adult life}. It also may point to a spiritual endeavor on your part. Have you sought out spiritual experiences/remedies?

Hi Jerry this makes a WHOLE lot of sense. I recognize that I don't feel good about myself and that I see myself in a negative way. I can see the life experiences, too, that have led me to this point as well.

I sincerely appreciate your response.

Jackie,
The analysis, as most do, shines a light on your inner self and the emotional energies that govern your psyche {psychology}. And with all dreams it is but one of at least two {or more} interpretations, my analysis centered on the unconscious energies and another associated with more recent emotional experiences that are related to my analysis. When a trained dream analyst possesses personal information about the dreamer's life, an interpretation of the recent experiences as depicted in the dream {images and actions} can be provided as well. The unconscious aspects are about the foundations, personality and personal attitudes that exist and contribute to the recent experiences. How you act and react to experiences in life are largely dictated by the inner forces.

As for the images and actions in your dream and how they translate into understandable language {dreams have a language primarily of symbol and metaphor but can also address literal as well as personal associations}. The dream title provides clues to the dream message with the coins representing self worth as well as 'changes' needed in your psychology to remedy the self worth issues. The number 5 is a common {if not universal} number for change as well {the number five reflecting a change in your psyche or that you need to alter your psychology}. The number 15 would represent the mental attitude {1+5=6 which represents the body/mind. The number 9 represents spiritual aspects/wholeness}. The $1.15 would represent the ego self {1} that needs a change of attitude {5} so to achieve wholeness of body/mind {6}. The period {.} represents an end to the ego submissive attitude {to unconscious energies/motivators} which will bring about the needed changes of body/mind. Beyond that the dream likely has personal associations with the numbers only you could know {with the limited info I have of you, your age and gender}. But the primary task in analyzing the dream is to discover the primary message, which is about self worth and a needed change of attitude so you can find wholeness and real happiness in life. That is the function of dreams, to help bring about wholeness by informing the dreamer what is out of balance psychologically as well as physically and spiritually. If you are aware of the underlying psychological reasons for why you are who your are then you can make changes where needed and find solutions to what it takes to do that. Just as the body has the immune system to heal and protect, the psyche has the dream that performs the same function.
