Psychology
Investing dreams show the mind calculating where to put limited money, time and energy. By the continuity hypothesis, daytime concerns carry into dreams; you may be thinking more about your future plans or work.
Folklore and history
Japanese proverbs like "lose now to gain later" and "peach and chestnut take three years, persimmon eight" prize patient returns. Farming life itself taught long-term investment. A dream of profits is read as effort taking shape.
On long investigations or drives between locations, a dead phone or flashlight battery can end the trip early. A spare power source is worth carrying.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice whether you knew what you invested in. A blurry target means your effort has no direction yet; a clear one means you have already decided. Panic at falling prices may be fear that your time, not money, will go unrewarded.
Going deeper: our reading
Small, regular investing has become commonplace, and talk of growing money comes up more often among colleagues and friends. Some feel pressure when they hear others have started, or check prices every day. Investing dreams can carry that mood of the times. In this site's reading, whose words led you to invest shows your state of mind. Researching and deciding for yourself suggests you are taking the helm of your future. Following someone's advice without question reflects unease about handing over important choices, or fear of being left behind. Staring at charts and numbers may mean results preoccupy you, leaving less room to enjoy today. Pouring time into study, hobbies or people rather than money signals you are beginning to value growing yourself. This is our speculation, but people with strong, vague worries about the future may use this dream to search for what to prepare for.
