Writing a book in a dream is the mind’s attempt to formalize a set of personal understandings or covenants. The brain works to turn the fluid nature of memory into a fixed shape, as if seeking to create a lasting account of what is being experienced.
The dreamer engages in the effort of documenting what is being learned or promised. This consolidation brings an internal order, as the work of capturing these thoughts suggests a desire for mental sorting to reach a point of stabilization.
When a book is being published or when another person is seen writing a book, the dream moves away from the private act of recording and toward the external recognition of truth. These variations indicate that the internal matter being organized is becoming ready to meet the standards of an outside world or a larger social covenant.
The act of writing in a book shifts the focus from the creation of a legacy to the immediate application of knowledge. Because the dreamer is interacting with an existing vessel for information, the dream points to the integration of new insights into a framework that is already established.

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.
