Reading a letter in a dream is the brain’s way of processing information that has traveled from a distance, whether that distance is physical or psychological. This mechanism functions to prepare the dreamer for news that has already been sent but has not yet been integrated into the waking awareness. The dream moves from the arrival of a message toward the moment of understanding.
Receiving such tidings requires the mind to sit with the implications of the information. This anticipation shows the brain organizing facts that are currently outside of immediate reach. Unresolved tension stays present when the contents remain unread or the source remains unknown. The dreamer finds that the arrival of this information is a current reality that requires readiness for what follows.

Owen SterlingInterpreter interprets your dreams
Many people believe a frightening dream announces something, when more often the brain was simply sorting the days just before it. During the night the mind files what was carried over from recent hours, and what gets filed loudest is what was felt most. A rough night leaves a residue by morning that fades with daylight. Nothing was sent. The sleeper was working, and the work is done.
