The Element Encyclopedia

by Theresa Cheung
To dream that you are writing by hand represents your self-expression and creativity. Consider the symbolism of what you are writing by hand and how it relates to your waking life. Pay attention also to the style of writing you are using and the patterns revealed by your handwriting. Graphology is the scientific method of identifying, evaluating and understanding a person’s personality through their handwriting. Graphologists believe that handwriting, just like dreams, can reveal hundreds of elements of a person’s personality and character; these includes glimpses into the subconscious mind, emotional responsiveness, intellect, energy, fears and defenses, motivations, imagination, integrity, aptitudes and even sex drives.

If you are reading handwriting in your dream, pay attention to that too, as it may reveal much about the person who wrote it.

For example, if you recognize your sister’s handwriting and it appeared shaky, could it be revealing her vulnerability; if any words were underlined or capitalized, did they underline or emphasize the message of your dream?
