Weighing Scale Dream Meaning

Seeing a weighing scale in a dream reflects a conflict over a decision going on inside you, or a search for fairness. When you have to weigh two sides of a situation and work out which is right and which is wrong, this dream comes back again and again. The state of the scale makes the meaning clear.

• A scale in perfect balance

  You have reached a fair answer to some matter, and your mind has settled.

• A scale tipped to one side

  Some area of your life has lost its balance, perhaps between work and your private life, or between what you give and what you get.

• A scale breaking or giving way under the load

  The pressure of a decision has grown so heavy that your mind can no longer carry it.

• Being weighed on a scale yourself

  You feel pressure to prove yourself, in other people's eyes and in your own, as if your worth is being counted up all the time.

A dream of a scale reminds you that looking for perfect balance in everything is not realistic. Tipping a little to one side now and then is normal.
