Ledger

A bound book of accounts — the running record of what was given and what was taken.

A ledger in a dream is the dream's image of the running record of what was given and what was taken, kept in a single place across time. The ledger is not the transactions; the ledger is the memory of them. The dream brings the ledger when something in your life — a friendship's mutual favours, a long financial arrangement, the internal tally of duties owed and discharged — is being kept track of in a formal column rather than a vague feeling. A ledger balanced cleanly is the dream affirming the honest accounting. A ledger with old entries crossed out, the columns no longer adding up, is the dream noting that the record was kept for a while and then quietly altered to make the present read better than the history would allow.
