What It Means to Dream About Letters
Dreaming of a letter is read as a dream that represents news that arrives, feelings you want to convey, and an exchange of true feelings.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, a letter is a symbol of news and true feelings. Because a letter is words that take time to arrive, it is read as representing a message you have been hoping for, and an exchange of true feelings that are hard to say face to face. The impression of the sender and of the contents reflects your expectations and anxieties about that news. A dream of writing a letter is a sign that feelings you want to convey are growing.
What It Means in Different Situations
Receiving a Letter
This is a sign that happy news, or a message from someone important, is drawing near. If the sender comes to mind, it may be a season when your relationship with that person moves.
Writing a Letter
This represents a state in which true feelings you want to convey are growing. The feeling of trying to choose your words itself is an important sign.
Not Being Able to Read the Contents of a Letter
This represents a season when you do not understand the other person's feelings and are uneasy. Rather than filling it in with guesswork, creating an opportunity to check will settle you.
An Old Letter Appearing
This represents a season of looking back on past events and feelings. Seen from who you are now, a new meaning may come into view.
A Love Letter
This represents expectations about receiving affection, and a heightening of your awareness of your own charm.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when you are waiting for a message from someone, or holding something you want to say in your heart. It also brings out a desire for a careful exchange of words, different from direct conversation.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a key dream represents "a solution you open yourself," a letter dream represents "words and news that arrive from outside." It also differs in the concreteness of how it arrives from a bird dream, which is also a symbol of news.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is in a season when it moves through exchanges with people. Actions that deliver words — answering a message you had been putting off replying to, or sending a handwritten message — warm your connections. The harder something is to say, the more it is best conveyed in short, careful words.
