Dreaming of an Author
author, novelist, writer · mixed, with a happy outcome
An author is mostly about doubts and worries over writing, with recognition in the end.
What happens in the dream
- If you write and your manuscript is rejected: some doubt at first, but your work will finally be accepted as authentic and original
- Seeing an author anxiously poring over their work: you'll worry about some piece of writing, yours or someone else's
How you felt
- Anxiety: the dream may reflect a fear of being judged on what you produce
- Hope: perhaps a trust that your efforts will be recognized
Ask yourself
- What personal work am I afraid to show?
- What story do I want to tell?
