Dreaming of a Pen

A pen warns about a taste for adventure and gossip, unless it's made of gold.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a pen: your love of adventure is leading you into serious complications
  • A gold pen: good news and success in business and love
  • You cut a quill pen: many enemies, but you'll triumph over them
  • The pen won't write: you'll be accused of a serious moral lapse
  • You write with a steel pen: tattling about friends and neighbors will land you in trouble

How you felt

  • A need for expression: the dream may reflect words you want to write or say
  • Caution: a fear that your words will backfire

Ask yourself

  • What would I like to write or say?
  • Do I talk about other people too much?
