Pencil in a dream
A pencil in a dream is read in folk tradition as learning, an agreement and a plan that can still be touched up.
The pencil is a sign of school, notes and first letters, so dream books tie it to learning and new beginnings. A dream about a pencil is believed to say you have a plan in mind that you are only sketching for now. The nice thing is that a pencil mark can be erased and corrected: people read that as the freedom to make a mistake and try again. A sharpened pencil means readiness, a short, worn-down one that there is a great deal of effort behind you to be proud of.
