Accounts
Accounts often carry the weight of unresolved matters — something unpaid, something owed, a balance not yet struck. Perhaps the dream asks what you've been keeping tallied in silence, or where you long to settle an old score and finally walk away light.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for accounts, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of having accounts presented to you for payment, you will be in a dangerous position. You may have recourse to law to disentangle yourself. If you pay the accounts, you will soon effect a compromise in some serious dispute.
To hold accounts against others, foretells that disagreeable contingencies will arise in your business, marring the smoothness of its management.
For a young woman book-keeper to dream of footing up accounts, denotes that she will have trouble in business, and in her love affairs; but some worthy person will persuade her to account for his happiness. She will be much respected by her present employers.
Fontaine, 1862
Dreams that relate to making up accounts are good omens. If you dream you found an error in your money account, it foretells that you will have a piece of good luck. Accounts blotted with ink is a sign of sickness.
