Dreaming of a Publisher
publisher, book, editor, publishing house · mixed
A publisher points to travel and literary ambition; how he treats your manuscript decides the rest.
What happens in the dream
- You see a publisher: long journeys and literary aspirations
- A publisher rejects your manuscript: a cherished plan will fall through
- He accepts it: your hopes will be fully realised
- Your partner is a publisher: you will be jealous of several of their acquaintances, with lively scenes
- He loses it: strangers will do you harm
How you felt
- Hope mixed with apprehension: the dream often reflects a fear of being judged on what you create
- Ambition: perhaps a wish to share your voice with the world
Ask yourself
- What do I want to show the world?
- How do I handle rejection?
