Encountering fortune in a dream signifies good luck and prosperity. If you find yourself holding a lottery ticket, it is a sign that you will be lucky with money matters in the near future. If you see yourself hitting the big one, it means that your luck will soon change for the better. However, if you dream of losing your fortune and not being able to get it back, then this signifies that your current financial situation is going to get worse because of some event or circumstance.
The cause for this dream could be an unresolved issue like unpaid debts or an anxiety about money in general.
