Passbook

Interpretation

A passbook logs deposits and withdrawals, symbolizing the give-and-take of your connections. The dream suggests you’re evaluating generosity—perhaps considering a loan of money, time, or emotional labor. Clear records prevent resentment.

Transparency creates sustainable trust.

Common Meanings

• Writing in a passbook: Documenting promises, ensuring accountability, or planning assistance
• Loaning it out: Sharing resources carefully, expecting reciprocity, or teaching responsibility
• Lost passbook: Experiencing confusion, needing boundaries, or reestablishing agreements

Cultural Context

Before digital banking, passbooks served as personal ledgers—tangible proof of savings. Dreams reference this practice to remind you to track how you invest in others.

Personal Reflection

• Who currently depends on your support?
• How do you differentiate generosity from obligation?
• What safeguards protect your resources?
• Where might you need to request repayment—in money or effort?
• How can you celebrate balanced exchanges?
