Inscription
An inscription — words carved to last — often touches communications arriving, sometimes grave: unpleasant news, tomb-readings of sickness, the loss of a friend in the writing. The dream may ask what lasting message is reaching you, where you're reading something solemn in stone, and what permanence the words are trying to fix.
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 inscription, 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 you see an inscription, foretells you will shortly receive unpleasant communications. If you are reading them on tombs, you will be distressed by sickness of a grave nature. To write one, you will lose a valued friend.
