Reading in a dream
Reading in a dream is taken in folk tradition as learning, curiosity and an answer that is already close.
Dream books tie reading to knowledge and understanding: whoever reads in a dream is believed to grasp something in waking life. Clear letters are taken as a bright mind and a good decision, and letters that run away as a sign of tiredness; dreams seldom let you get through a whole page anyway. Reading aloud means you will pass good news on to someone, and reading in silence that you enjoy your own company. People say whoever reads lives twice, so a dream about it bodes well too.
The most common dreams
Dreaming that you are reading a letter
By folk belief, a letter in your hands announces word from someone dear to you. Folk tradition has it that the news will be pleasant and will brighten your day.
Dreaming of reading to a child at bedtime
Reading a story is taken as tenderness and a wish to protect someone and cheer them up. It is believed you will make somebody's evening nicer.
Dreaming that you cannot make out the letters
Blurry letters are a sign of tiredness, nothing more. Old dream books say that after a good rest everything will be as clear to you as the palm of your hand.
Dreaming of reading aloud in front of others
Performing before listeners is taken as the courage to show yourself. It is said your voice will be heard with attention and approval.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
