Book
Psychological (Freud)
A book points to the need to read and understand one's own life and may denote a closed chapter or a guarded secret of the soul. Opening it or searching within it often mirrors the wish for self-knowledge and for answers hidden in the unconscious.
Oriental reading
In Oriental-Islamic interpretation the book stands for knowledge, wisdom and the destiny allotted to a person; receiving a book in the right hand is held to be a good omen of guidance and well-ending affairs. A closed or unreadable book points to hidden knowledge or an outcome not yet revealed.
Objects
Dream interpretation is for self-reflection and entertainment — it is not a medical or psychological diagnosis.
