This paper deals with the theory of ambiguous classes of ideals in real quadratic fields. The author's goal is to ``give a complete overview of the subject including a general criterion for an arbitrary real quadratic order (not necessarily maximal) to have ambiguous cycles of ideals (not necessarily invertible) without any ambiguous ideals in them.'' The notion of the ``palindromic index'' of a reduced ideal is introduced to facilitate the formulation of this criterion. Several numerical examples are presented in detail to illustrate the concepts discussed.
