Picture in a dream
By folk reading, a picture in a dream speaks of memories and of how you see yourself and the people around you.
Old dream books read a picture as a look at what you keep in memory. A photograph of dear people is read as longing and a wish to be in touch, and a picture on the wall as pride in home and family. It is believed that whoever paints in a dream is trying, in waking life, to show something the way they see it. The frame speaks too: a fine one means you give something importance. People say such dreams are quiet and feel as pleasant as leafing through an album.
