Spiritual Meaning:
The Scales of Justice represent spiritual balance and harmony, and  also good judgement. By association, they also represent the astrological sign of Libra.

Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Scales in a dream suggest the necessity for balance and self-control. Without that balance we cannot make a sensible decision as to potential courses of action. We must ‘weigh up’all the possibilities. Scales will also suggest standards – for instance, standards of behaviour – to which we are expected to adhere. We may be weighed and found wanting. If the scales are unbalanced in a dream we need to search our conscience and discover where we are not functioning properly in our lives.

Everyday Material Aspects:
The various types of scale we see in our dream will have slightly differing meanings. For example, bathroom scales would suggest a more personal assessment than a public machine, whereas a weighbridge might suggest that we need to take our whole lives into consideration. If they were doctor’s scales we may be alerting ourselves to a potential health problem.
