Leprechauns

Derived from the Irish word "luchorpan" meaning "little man," Leprechauns are Irish fairies who are about two feet tall and look like little old men. They are solitary and happy creatures who live in remote places. Legend says they have pots of gold and if you catch one, they might tell you where it is in order to escape.

Where is a leprechaun's pot of gold hidden?

The name leprechaun may have derived from the Irish leath bhrogan (shoemaker), although its origins may lie in luacharma'n (Irish for pygmy). These apparently aged, diminutive men are frequently to be found in an intoxicated state, caused by home-brew poteen. However they never become so drunk that the hand which holds the hammer becomes unsteady and their shoemaker's work affected. Leprechauns have also become self-appointed guardians of ancient treasure (left by the Danes when they marauded through Ireland), burying it in crocks or pots. This may be one reason why leprechauns tend to avoid contact with humans whom they regard as foolish, flighty (and greedy?) creatures. If caught by a mortal, he will promise great wealth if allowed to go free. He carries two leather pouches. In one there is a silver shilling, a magical coin that returns to the purse each time it is paid out. In the other he carries a gold coin which he uses to try and bribe his way out of difficult situations. This coin usually turns to leaves or ashes once the leprechaun has parted with it.However, you must never take your eye off him, for he can vanish in an instant.

What does it mean when you dream with leprechauns?

You could look at this dream in two different ways. On the one hand, the dream might illustrate your intuition that someone or something is draining away your assets. The leprechaun could represent something virtually invisible and very difficult to detect, as if your money were being magically spirited away. You could take this as a nudge from your own subconscious mind to look more closely into your accounts. Note, also, that this might refer to anything important or precious to you, not just money or credit.

> On the other hand, if you are already worried about losses, this dream could be saying that you are afraid of a fantasy. In this case, the leprechaun represents an illusion, a fairytale, a needless obsession that is causing pointless anxiety.
