Scales dream meaning is explained below using 16 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball

1- Scales in a dream suggest the necessity for balance and selfcontrol. Without that balance we cannot make a sensible decision as to potential courscs of action. We must ‘weigh up” all the possibilities. Scales will also suggest standards for instance, standards of behaviour to which we are cxpccted to adhere. We may be weighed and found wanting.

If the scales are unbalanced in a dream we need to search our conscience and discover where we are not functioning properly.

2- The type of scale we sec in our dream will us give a more explicit interpretation.

For example, Bathroom scales would suggest a more personal assessment than a public machine, whereas a weigh bridge might suggest that we need to take our whole lives into consideration.

If thev were doctor’s scales we mav be alerting ourselves to a potential health problem.

3- The Scales of Justice represent balance and harmony, but also good judgement. By association, they also represent the astrological sign of Libra.
