Receiving a check in a dream signifies the brain processing a pending resolution or an expectation of a deserved settlement. This image appears because the brain is working through the strain of an unresolved situation and getting ready for its conclusion.
The dream points to a transition where the dreamer anticipates a specific outcome that settles a prior tension. While such a symbol shows a preoccupation with what is owed or what is due, it also shows that the work of addressing these obligations is underway. This process provides a way for the mind to prepare for the arrival of a long-awaited conclusion.
Getting a check in the mail adds the element of news to the dream, suggesting that the resolution arrives through an external communication or a piece of information that was previously missing.
The involvement of another person in receiving a check shifts the focus toward the social or interpersonal nature of the settlement, indicating that the resolution depends on an interaction with an outside party.
A large check indicates that the matter being resolved carries great weight, as the size of the symbol signals a major change in the scale of what is being settled.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a check
I dream of a woman writing a bank cheque for my child then she goes with it
