My coins get stolen at an outdoor, international fair! (dream)

DREAM

I am house sitting. I want money, but I see how one girl is getting it and I don't like it. I watch from overhead. She's going to see a boyfriend in the city. She's a bubbly teenager or young adult and she drives to his house. 

I know he doesn't care about her from her description of him, but when I see him, I'm surprised there is a crumb of care. But only a crumb. She's clinging to it.

She unpacks her intimate things. 

Her dad genuinely cares for her and gives her a bunch of coins the next day to go to a fair. I teleport into the scene and ask him for money too, and he lets me select from the same handful of coins. I am very surprised I don't have to do anything foolish or dramatic in order to get money from him. I don't have to do something dramatic like take on a boyfriend who obviously doesn't care about me. I pick the biggest coins. I look at them and they're worth $7 Canadian. I'm considering where I can exchange these coins when I'm interrupted by a musical number. 

My dad wanted me to learn about these people who are outdoors, singing. I look at a brochure. They're Irish--my family's kind of Irish. So I'm surprised their musical is a mix of French and Spanish, mostly. And they're painted and dressed blue and yellow. 

A strange man comes up to me after the song and dance number while I'm considering where to exchange my coins, and places a hand over my money. He hovers over it and when he pops up again, assures me he didn't take any. However, I check my pile when he's done, and I see that my biggest coins are all gone. He seemed so honest and friendly, but he's stealing from me!

I hate that he's done this. I just don't know what to do about being cheated! How am I going to get my money back? Then a friend interrupts my train of thought.

INTERPRETATION

There's a reason why I've been feeling extra salty lately. I'd tell you, but I practically promised someone important to me that I wouldn't ruminate about it anymore. The dream describes the situation really well though: I felt as though someone stole from or otherwise violated me, and I don't know how to approach the situation! 

Also, the dream describes how I really need to be making some more money, and I'm getting a little desperate, so I was thinking of doing some kind of service job. But in my experience, those jobs are usually really, really bad. Lots of drama, exploitation, and chicanery. I must believe, somewhere in my subconscious, that there must be a way for me to make a living that doesn't involve doing something horrible. 

I'm learning some Spanish and Swedish with a subscription to Rosetta Stone, and I've been thinking of adding some French lessons, so that explains the language of the musical and the costume done in the colors of the Swedish flag.
