dip into
Take from reserves
To dip into something is to engage with it briefly or partially.
You dip into a book by reading passages here and there rather than cover to cover: I've been dipping into her essays over the past few weeks.
To dip into savings or reserves is to withdraw a portion: We had to dip into our emergency fund for repairs.
The image is of briefly submerging rather than fully immersing.
