A bank is associated with finances and money and, as symbolism, can cover any subject related to money, investment of time and energy, “rainy-day fund,” and preparation for the future.
Your inner bank is where you have your internal resources such as energy and motivation.
It’s your sense of security knowing you’ve planned well, or insecurity, depending on the state of the bank in the dream.
Withdrawing money from a bank can symbolize tapping into the resources you have accumulated—material or personal.
A blocked account can symbolize money-supply issues, or having a hard time using resources for yourself and instead always thinking of others first, or being overly conservative and underutilizing resources.
To dream about a bank being robbed can symbolize needless use or loss of money or resources, or financial instability.
The bank is where resources are stored, so a robbed bank implies personal loss.
Banks are difficult to break into, and that association extends to situations such as getting into a social circle, or gaining access to something closed to you. It can be a clever way of saying, “break the bank,” meaning bust finances.
Dreaming about being unable to locate a bank can indicate financial problems such as difficulty saving money, or out-of-control spending habits.
Locating the bank can mean internally locating or tapping inner resources, especially related to budgeting, planning, or restraint.
A fat bank account or big bank building can symbolize success, especially material success, or confidence in a secure position.
Having a lot of money in the bank is a sign of success and prestige, a source of confidence, and it can give a sense of importance.

A bank in a dream may signify something that needs safekeeping. Further, it indicates solidity, stability, and security. Note whether the dreamer feels overdrawn or secure to indicate whether he or she is maintaining a balance in business or personal life.
The bank represents your pool of resources, wealth, and accumulated energy. Therefore, dreaming that you save money or store jewelry or valuables in a bank reflects a clear need for safety and security to address the problems of life. On the contrary, if you withdraw money it means you will have enough strength and confidence to face such problems.
Banks, especially the safes, represent your inner warehouse, your source of psychological potential. The unconscious is telling you to use your skill and energy reserves: your talent. Also, the dream can have a more literal meaning: you do not need to worry about the safety of your assets, as they are well kept.
If you dream of robbing a bank maybe you are making too much effort in something; there is risk of failure due to lack of resources.
If in the dream you deposit money in the bank you will soon receive financial support. If, however, you see empty boxes, it predicts financial doom.
A rather straightforward dream. An empty bank signifies losses. Tellers paying out money is a warning against carelessness in business matters, unless you were yourself receiving or depositing funds, in which case you can expect some form of money luck.
Thoughts around money, power, and financial security are coming up for you. A bank is a construct of modern society created around the concept of protecting the abundance of the average individual. When examined more closely under the scrutiny of symbolic meaning, a bank connects more to fears around money and the desire to hoard abundance to maintain a sense of security about future needs.
You may be concerned with keeping your sense of prosperity safe and guarded.
Something’s up with your financial situation or with your work life.
If you withdraw money from a bank, you are worried about having enough money or enough credibility at work.
If your bank account is empty, you’ve lost your leverage. You need to start living within your means before you’ve lost all credibility.
If you rob a bank, you aren’t sure whether what you are about to do is the right thing.
If you dream the ATM is giving you more money than you actually have, someone is trying to tell you how much you mean to them.
It is a sign of financial difficulties to dream of transacting business in a bank.
