The book is knowledge, memory and the story of your life. An open book is revelation; a closed one, a secret not yet read.
When the dream feels light
Reading an open book promises understanding, learning and answers.
When the dream feels dark
A book you cannot read or a burnt book points to a lost truth or knowledge out of reach.
Ask yourself
What chapter of my life am I writing?

The card of this dream
The High Priestess. The secret knowledge behind the veil, an intuition that knows before it can explain. The High Priestess sits between the black and white pillars before a veil, the scroll of hidden law in her lap and the moon at her feet. She is intuition, silence and secret knowledge: the answer is not yet visible, and it will come from within, not from outside.
