An interpretation of letter dreams

An interpretation of letter dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. As something that comes in the mail, a letter can symbolize a message, answer or reply you’re expecting to receive. Receiving a letter, note, email, or even a text message in a dream can symbolize communication between parts of your mind, or between mind and body. Your head and heart communicate. Your ego and unconscious mind communicate. It’s a regular gabfest in there as you sleep. And dreams are the facilitator, the mailman. Your brain is very active while dreaming. During REM stage, when dreaming is most vivid, the brain is as active as when you’re taking a test. It becomes like a plastic that heats up and is malleable—referred to in neuroscience as neuroplasticity. Neural pathways form and reroute as the brain reviews everything that happened since the last time it cleaned house, and it creates dreams around the memories to help the process along. Memories, thoughts, emotions; messages from the body, the spirit, the unconscious—all included in the tune-up and pruning. Everything you learn, everything new experienced, is integrated into what you already know and the existing structure of your psyche. Valuable information is communicated to you in dreams. Think of it as a “note to self.” Your unconscious mind, which is better at putting together clues and has no illusions or blind spots, sends you a message in a way most likely to get through. For example, a woman has been communicating with a love interest who lives overseas. She dreams that she receives a letter from him that’s addressed to another woman. The dream shows that she knows deep inside that the situation with the man is not leading to where she wants it to. She wants a relationship with him, wants to move to be with him, but he is not on the same page. Another fascinating theme related to letters that arises in dreams is when you read about yourself in a letter. Often, these dreams are related to communication from the unconscious mind. The unconscious sees the big picture of you and it has really valuable things to say. It can provide insight, perspective, and direction. See: Books Reference to mail in a dream can be a wordplay on “male,” the gender. For example, a woman dreams about checking into a B&B. A woman is at the front desk, and an unseen man is in an adjoining room, the mailroom. The mailroom is the part of her mind focused on her father, and the man is back there unseen because her father has been in the background of her life for many years. At the end of the dream, a thick letter addressed from him awaits her at the front desk. It says all the things she needs to hear about how he loves and cherishes her, which she knows subconsciously but isn’t sure about consciously.
