Dreams about money, such as your experience with quarters, often symbolize your self-worth, value, or the energy you are investing into different areas of your life. Pulling out a lot of quarters might suggest that you're recognizing your resources or skills and are ready to invest them wisely.

The act of putting coins into a meter indicates that you may be making efforts to 'pay' for something in your life, possibly representing your desire to ensure that you are getting value or time for your investments, whether they be emotional, financial, or personal.

The struggle to determine which meter was the right one could reflect feelings of uncertainty in your waking life about where to allocate your resources or focus your attention. You may be weighing different options and trying to decide where to invest your time and effort to avoid wasting it.

Overall, this dream could be prompting you to consider how you are managing your resources and whether you feel confident in the choices you are making. It may be beneficial to reflect on areas in your life where you feel you're running out of time or need to make more deliberate decisions.
