Author
The author awaiting a verdict on their work carries the vulnerability of creation offered up for judgement — a manuscript that may be refused before it is, at last, accepted. The dream tends to ask what we have made and put forward, and whether we can bear the doubt before our work finds its welcome.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for author, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
For an author to dream that his manuscript has been rejected by the publisher, denotes some doubt at first, but finally his work will be accepted as authentic and original.
To dream of seeing an author over his work, perusing it with anxiety, denotes that you will be worried over some literary work either of your own or that of some other person.
