Dreams about being in school often relate to learning, growth, or unresolved issues from your past. The act of checking your bag for money may symbolize your desire for security or a sense of worth. The fact that you were told you had the money in your pocket suggests that you might overlook your own resources or strengths in waking life.

Finding 21 dollars instead of the expected 20 could indicate a pleasant surprise or an unexpected gain in your life. This might represent an opportunity or a realization that you have more value or potential than you initially believed.

Consider reflecting on areas in your life where you might be undervaluing your resources or capabilities. This dream could be encouraging you to recognize and appreciate the abundance that you may already have.
