Dreaming of a Manuscript
manuscript, book, draft, typescript · mixed, leaning encouraging
A manuscript tracks your hopes: unfinished or lost, it disappoints; complete and clean, it foretells their fulfillment.
What happens in the dream
- Seeing it burn: some work of your own will bring profit and advancement
- A finished, clearly written manuscript: great hopes realized
- Working on a manuscript: fears for a cherished hope, but success if you keep your work clean
- It is rejected: hopelessness for a while, then your dearest wishes come true
- An unfinished manuscript: disappointment
- Losing it: disappointment
How you felt
- Creative ambition: the dream may reflect a project close to your heart
- Fear of judgment: it may express a dread of rejection
Ask yourself
- Which personal project is waiting to be finished?
- Am I afraid of how others will see my work?
