    I’ve read this a few times, and I can’t figure out what you’re referring to with a “scale” at the bank. What does that mean?

      They had a big analog scale you could stand on, and a dial would go around the markings like a clock- there are still some of these same scales at grocery stores here. People use them to weigh themselves, or I see people weighing luggage on them. In the dream the dial went backwards but IRL it was just wrong, very wrong.

      Google “Toledo No Springs Scale” and you will see them.

        Right, but why is there a scale at a bank? I’ve been to many banks, and there’s been a scale for weighing humans at zero of them. That’s why I’m confused here. I know what a scale is.
