Perhaps you need to take an objective look at a certain situation or problem to find a rational and unemotional way around it. A dream of an accountant working on account books or counting figures suggests a problem in your waking life that needs a coolly calculated and unemotional solution. The accountant may represent yourself but it may also represent someone who is trying to help you keep your feet on the ground.
If you are trying to add up a sum in your dream or an equation but are having problems doing so, this indicates a slight error in your thinking or a slip or mistake that is undermining your efforts. [1]
The context of the dream will illuminate which way to go with your interpretation. [2]
Being in the mood for problem solving and mental challenges.
An “echo” or continuation of a similar kind of activity you were doing earlier in the day.
Concern about an upcoming math test or other event.
An indicator of a high level of stress or a Toxic Dream.
