Reading, or being in a library, appears in dreams as a symbol of the realization of spiritual truths. Reading a Holy Book in dreams suggests that we are attempting to understand a particular belief system, or that there is information in it pertinent to us at this time. Until comparatively recently, the only way to record events was to write them down. Reading is an activity that assists us in recalling things from memory our own or joint memories. To be aware that we are reading a novel is to begin to understand our own need for fantasy. A psychic reading often works with the symbolism of many basic dream images. To dream of having such a reading suggests a need to understand ourselves on a deeper level. Reading a book in a dream suggests that we are seeking information. Reading a letter signifies receiving news. Reading a list e.g. a shopping list indicates a need to give some order to our lives.
