Unreadable Message

A message you cannot read is an ancient frustration — the riddle whose meaning hides, the figures on the wall you sense are important but cannot decipher. The dream usually isn't about the words themselves but the feeling of being addressed by something that matters while the meaning stays just out of reach. It asks what, in waking life, you suspect is being communicated to you — by someone, by a situation, by yourself — that you haven't yet been able, or willing, to make out.
