Scales
Scales — weighing one thing against another — often touch justice tempering your conduct and prosperity widening, with a lover found of solid worth if a woman weighs him. The dream may ask where you're measuring and balancing fairly, and whether honest equilibrium is letting your fortunes grow and your bonds prove their true weight.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for scales, 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 weighing on scales, portends that justice will temper your conduct, and you will see your prosperity widening.
For a young woman to weigh her lover, the indications are that she will find him of solid worth, and faithfulness will balance her love.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream you are weighing any article, is a good omen, and signifies that you will be happy and long-lived; but to dream you see another using the scales, is a sign you will be ruined by law-suits.
