Scales
To see a scale in your dream may symbolize a preoccupation with body and weight issues.
On a deeper level, a dream of a scale may signify a decision that you need to make.
This dream also suggests that the dreamer needs to take a balanced view of a situation and not get too emotional. Try not to be so black and white and consider the other aspects of the situation.
