Blotting Paper
Blotting paper soaks up what was meant to stay private, and in dreams it can mark being deceived into betraying a secret that involves a friend. The dream tends to touch the leaking-out of what should be kept, and to ask where a confidence is at risk, and whether our own carelessness might spill it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blotting paper, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of using blotting paper, signifies you will be deceived into the betrayal of secrets which will seriously involve a friend.
To see worn blotting paper, denotes continued disagreements in the home or among friends.
