Giving
Letting go of something deliberately, with the intention that someone else receives it.
Giving in a dream is the dictionary's image of letting go deliberately, with someone else's hands in the picture. The thing being given matters — it is often the dream's clearest answer to 'what part of myself have I been ready to share'.
Where you often see it. Giving an object to someone who did not expect it. Giving something you needed. The dream uses giving for letting go of something deliberately, with the intention that someone else receives it.
What it is not. Giving in a dream is not always generosity. The dictionary reads it as the act of release, of which generosity is one form.
