Dreaming of a Letter
letter, correspondence, mail, note · mixed: happy if tender, gloomy if troubling
Letters bring news and feelings: received with joy they speak of love and success; dark, anonymous or torn ones bring suspicion and grief.
What happens in the dream
- Receiving a letter, or many letters: faithful love, honors, or someone praising you behind your back
- A love letter, or frequent letters from a friend: you are loved, or someone absent will soon return
- Writing a letter: success in your ventures, but also a risk of judging someone too quickly
- Blue ink: constancy and bright fortune; red ink or colored paper: suspicion and jealousy
- Hiding a letter from your partner: you are getting involved in something unworthy
- An anonymous letter: harm from an unsuspected quarter
- A letter with bad news, a black border, or white ink on black paper: worry, illness or bereavement
- A torn or intercepted letter, or one you cannot read: a threatened reputation, slander or a small loss
How you felt
- Anticipation or hope: the dream may reflect a message you long to receive
- Apprehension: it may express a fear of hard news or of a secret coming out
Ask yourself
- What message am I waiting for, or afraid to send?
- Is there something I'm hiding from someone close?
