Letter

A message asking to be opened

What it often means

Letters in dreams carry messages — from your past, your future self, or a part of you you have been ignoring. An unopened letter is often the more meaningful kind.

When it tends to appear

  • When something unsaid is rising into expression
  • When you have been avoiding a feeling
  • When the inner voice has been writing to you

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Did you open the letter?

  2. 2

    What message have you been not letting yourself receive?

  3. 3

    Whose handwriting was it — and what would they actually say?

Did this symbol visit your dream?
