Photograph album
A bound collection of photographs — the family's chosen version of itself, kept in order.
A photograph album in a dream is the dream's image of an edited record of who a household has been. Albums are not every photo taken; they are the ones someone decided should be remembered, glued in sequence. The dream brings the album when the question of how your past is being officially remembered — by your family, by you, by an old group of friends — is open. An album opened and read through fondly is the dream affirming that the curated version of the past is still telling the right story. An album with photos missing or with strangers in the family pages is the dream noting that the record has been quietly altered, and what is now bound between the covers is no longer entirely what happened.
