Contract

Signing a contract is a symbol of taking responsibility or a new life stage.

Dream interpretation

In dream symbolism, a contract represents commitment—to a situation, a person, or an idea. If you are reading the fine print, your subconscious is warning you to be careful in a real-life deal. If you lose a contract, it may signify a fear of failure or a reluctance to settle in one place. From a Jungian perspective, this is the 'contract with yourself'—the integration of different parts of your personality into a cohesive whole. It marks a moment of significant internal agreement.
