If this is the case, your dreaming mind may have conjured up this scenario to alert you to the need to rise above negativity and pessimism so that you can recognize and possibly adopt more compassion and selflessness in your own life.
If your dream benefactor was an archetypal figure such as the mother, father, high priestess or priest, this dream may have been particularly inspirational and uplifting. Your unconscious may also be urging you to respect other people despite their faults and to stop judging and start understanding more.
