Check (money) Dream Meaning

Something that represents something else valuable, or that stands in for something valuable (as a check stands in for cash).

A promise or an “IOU” (such as for a favor, support, etc.).

Cashing a check can represent collecting on a promise or debt, something given in return for something received (both could be tangible or intangible in real life).
