The full entry for “Manuscript”

To dream of manuscript in an unfinished state, forebodes disappointment. If finished and clearly written, great hopes will be realized. If you are at work on manuscript, you will have many fears for some cherished hope, but if you keep the blurs out of your work you will succeed in your undertakings. If it is rejected by the publishers, you will be hopeless for a time, but eventually your most sanguine desires will become a reality. If you lose it, you will be subjected to disappointment. If you see it burn, some work of your own will bring you profit and much elevation.

How Dreamlore reads a dream about manuscript

A dictionary entry is one symbol on its own. In a real dream, manuscript arrives with a place, other people, and a feeling, and the meaning shifts with them. Dreamlore takes the whole dream — spoken or typed — finds the passages that actually fit it in Miller and in Freud, quotes them word-for-word, explains the symbols in context, and leaves you one reflective question. On Plus it also paints the dream from your own words. The journal stays on your phone.
