Paper is the news and the agreements that hold a life together. Like a stack of letters on the kitchen table, these things bring the world into your house and set the terms of how you live with others.
When you see this in a dream, you are looking at the foundations of your dealings. A piece of paper carries the weight of what has been settled or what is being proposed. These sheets may bring a tidy stillness to a room, or they may carry the sharp ache of a word that cannot be met.
I have held a heavy binding in my own hands. You find that you are already standing on the truth of your own word.
Yellow paper carries a note of something old or a sudden reason to be careful, as the color colors the news you receive with a tint of doubt.
When you are signing papers, the dream moves from the symbol to the act of making a pact. This action settles the news into a firm commitment that you are choosing to accept.
A dream of cutting paper shows a sharp division in what has been settled. This action breaks the continuity of a pact, leaving the edges uneven.
White paper and blank white paper show a page that has not yet felt the weight of a pen. This emptiness is the stillness of a room before the guests arrive.
The sight of burning paper means a pact is being destroyed by heat. This is a final way of ending an agreement, leaving nothing behind but ash.
Writing on paper is the way you leave your own mark upon the world. You take the pen to make your own path through the agreements of your days.
Losing papers in a dream is a heavy thing, dear, because the things that bind you to your place simply slip away. When the news is lost, the ground beneath your feet feels less certain.
Choking on paper is a dream where the agreements of life become a weight that prevents you from breathing. The very words meant to settle things have turned into a burden that catches in your throat.
Eating paper shows a dream where you are trying to take the news into yourself. You are consuming the very terms of your life, making the agreements a part of your own substance.
Benedita LumeInterpreter interprets your dreams
Well, dear, the old houses never treated a dream as a stranger at the door. A dream was given a chair at the table like a cousin from far away. Most of what it carries is a warm sign about the life already around you, and even a hard one is usually a reminder about something small at home. Rest easy. The house is still standing.
