Bills
Unpaid bills, Paying bills, Invoice
A stack of envelopes by the door, each one asking for something: bills in a dream are about obligations and the steady cost of keeping life running. They often appear when you're juggling responsibilities and wondering whether you can keep up. Seeing every one marked paid is a picture of clearing the decks. A bill that's far too high may mean you feel overcharged, giving more than you get back somewhere. A bill for something you never ordered hints that you're covering costs that belong to someone else. Notice whose names were on the envelopes; that's where your sense of obligation runs strongest.
