Writing
Writing — committing words to lasting form — often touches a near-undoing mistake, with reproach for careless conduct and a possible lawsuit, though writing a letter can herald a friend's visit. The dream may ask where what you set down carries risk, and whether the record will trip you up or draw an absent friend back.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for writing, 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 that you are writing, foretells that you will make a mistake which will almost prove your undoing.
To see writing, denotes that you will be upbraided for your careless conduct and a lawsuit may cause you embarrassment.
To try to read strange writing, signifies that you will escape enemies only by making no new speculation after this dream.
[246] See Letters.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of writing a letter, foretells that absent friends are about to visit you: if a girl dreams of writing a love-letter, it is a sign that her lover will soon return and clasp her in his arms. To dream you make a blot while writing, is a sign of sickness.
