Books

Universal Landscape: Knowledge and wisdom. Permanent thought.

Dreaming Lens: Were you reading a book? Was someone else reading? Was the book unopened? Were there many books? Were you in a bookstore or a library? Were the books identifiable or known to you? Were they in your native language? What was the content of the book(s)?

Personal Focus: Our societal perception of books and their value has changed drastically in recent times. Electronic media has already begun a process of rendering them obsolete. However, their rich heritage through the collective unconscious makes them a powerful symbol, despite the shift in how we perceive them.

As Western culture developed, only a very small minority of the population was able to read. Therefore, books became a highly valued commodity reserved only for the very wealthy, or members of religious hierarchy. In this way, books represent wisdom and knowledge. Their tangible, physical structure embodies a sense of permanence of thought as the printed word has come to be synonymous with truth and fact, whether accurate or not.

Books, as a symbol, connect to the accumulation and availability of knowledge. On a personal level, they can represent the measurement of someone’s intelligence. Many books appearing in a dream connect to higher level of intellect as expressed by the unconscious. One volume connects to a single area of information whereas a bookstore or library filled with books might symbolize abundant levels of knowledge available to those who seek it out.

Consider your relation to books and reading in life and apply it to your dream. Reading a book in a dream could indicate a need to slow down your mental processes so that you can hear your own thoughts. The printed permanence of books could indicate a need for you to be more exacting in your communication or illuminate areas where you are being held accountable for your words. Books on a shelf can mean wisdom not being utilized in some situation. Reading in a library or bookstore may mean you have tapped in to the collective unconscious where profound information is available to us all. Certain books, such as novels, can represent a desire to lose yourself in another world.

Books

To dream of books can symbolize knowledge, wisdom, intelligence, the search for knowledge and the ability to learn from the opinions of other people.

If you are surrounded by books in your dreams, this might suggest that you are more concerned with theory than practice. Depending on the kinds of books that figure in your dream, they can also suggest the world of imagination and escape. Are you surrounded by literary novels, racy best-sellers or fascinating biographies? If the books are very old, this suggests learning and inherited wisdom.

If the books are account books, this indicates a need to take care of financial matters.

Sacred books, such as the Koran or the Bible, signify a search for hidden or sacred knowledge. Dreaming of a sacred book can also represent a need to know you are heading in the right direction. To dream of an encyclopedia suggests a hunger for knowledge and new experience, as an encyclopedia represents collective human wisdom. On the other hand, it can also suggest information overload and a need to find focus. To dream you are searching in a dictionary suggests a need to find answers to a particular problem or situation in your life. It can also suggest an over-reliance on the opinions of others.

If you look up a particular word in your dream, this can be very significant (see LETTERS AND COMMUNICATION; SOUNDS). Finally, a poem is the ultimate form of self-expression, so if you are a poet, or a poet figures in your dream, or you are reading poetry, your unconscious is urging you to find a creative outlet in waking life.

Books

In our daily life, books are a source of information and a place to gain knowledge. They can be inspirational, and their messages are sometimes so strong that they change our lives.

The books in our dreams can represent our memories, learned understanding, ideas, or viewpoints. They can alert us to the fact that we have something new to learn and that we should spend time on mastering new tasks. Pay attention to what kind of book you are seeing in your dream and its purpose in the larger context of the dream. Also, note reading any passages or specific messages from the book. At times the book may be pointing to new themes or purposes in your life. Pay attention! The unconscious mind is constantly making attempts to communicate with the conscious in such ways that the dreamer will recognize it without panic or denial. Superstition-based dream interpretations say that if you are dreaming of books, you can be assured of slow but steady progress in your life.
