Library in a dream
In folk interpretation, a library in a dream means a thirst for knowledge and an answer waiting patiently on a shelf.
Old dream books tie books to wisdom, so a library in a dream is read as a treasury of answers. In folk belief the dream comes when there is something you want to find out or learn. Neat shelves mean ordered thoughts, while piles of books mean a curiosity that does not know where to begin. The hush among the shelves is read as a peace that does you good. The dream is believed to remind you that every answer is reached one page at a time.
