Paper

Universal Landscape: Commitment in communication.

Dreaming Lens: Were you using paper in the dream? Were you looking for paper? Were you making paper? Were you recycling used paper? What kind of paper was it, from newsprint to photographic? What was the paper being used for? What color was it?

Personal Focus: Paper has a rich legacy in the formation of civilization throughout history, and the spread of knowledge from the few to the many. The invention of paper allowed record keeping to become permanent. The mysteries of religion and science were eventually included in the cannon of knowledge that could be preserved for future generations through the use of paper. Eventually, the invention of wood-based paper became the standard for a mass-produced recording device. It holds the symbolic meaning of a communication that is made permanent by virtue of committing it to writing on paper. While the digital age and modern technology are fast making paper archaic, it still connects to communication that you are steadfast about or forced to adhere to.

How paper is being used in the dream will add dimension to your interpretation. Writing on paper connects to a need to gain clarity with your thoughts. Reading something written on paper is about attempting to absorb some new idea as an intrinsic part of your knowledge base. Folding a piece of paper might reveal a wish to keep something hidden from others, or possibly to break something down into more manageable pieces of information.

Doing something atypical with paper, such as origami or cutouts, could connect to being creative in a rebellious fashion. Blank paper might point to the requirement of definitive communication that you are not clear about or unwilling to commit to yet. Reams and reams of paper could align with an overwhelming sense of thoughts or feelings that need to be documented in some way.

In the business world, there is a phrase that something must “look good on paper,” referring to the strategic planning that precedes taking action. This highlights the impermanence that exists prior to the permanence that a hard copy of a “paper trail” implies.

Paper

A sheet of paper may symbolize a new beginning in our lives. Or, also it indicates that you want to express yourself through writing or art.

If the paper is a document, it may refer to a matter from your past. The presence of a paper in dreams also must relate to its written content. However, if you are unable to distinguish this, things change. Not surprisingly, a sheet of paper carried by the wind indicates that your hopes or your purposes are unsound and that you will probably miss the opportunities that arise.

If you are behind a mountain of papers, it represents that you live overwhelmed by stress, excess liability, and major concerns. Wet paper, finally, is a symbol of loss of prestige. (See LIBRARY and NOTEBOOK)

According to the dream-oracles, a blank paper presages a period of pain. However, a paper with writing predicts much joy in love.

Paper

Vision: Looking at printed paper: you trust others. Torn paper: the conflict you have provoked is your own fault. Be very careful if you get involved in legal matters right now. Plain paper: an important document will suddenly play a large role. Writing or drawing on a piece of paper: you are preoccupied with a personal situation. Printed paper: you are asked to do a lot of unnecessary and unimportant paper work.

Depth Psychology: A plain piece of paper represents either immaturity and lack of experience, or is a sign that you are open to new thoughts and opinions. Paper with print: expect to receive new instructions or spiritual insights that will be useful to you.

Paper

1- Paper is one of those images which, in dreams, is dependent on the circumstances in the dreamer’s life.

For instance, in a student’s life, paper would suggest the need to pay attention to the studies. In a postman’s life there may be job anxieties, whereas festive wrapping paper could indicate the need for, or the possibility of, celebration.

2- Blank writing paper points to a lack of communication, or need to communicate with someone, but can also suggest a new beginning. Brown paper can highlight the utilitarian side of the dreamer’s nature.

3- There is potential for Spiritual growth through both learning and creativity.
