Understanding Scroll in Dreams

Dreams often contain pictures, images and feelings that can feel confusing. One symbol commonly found in dreams is scrolls. Though the meaning of a scroll in a dream is open to interpretation, there are some general meanings associated with this symbol.

Symbols of Organizing

In general, scrolls signify organizing, writing and interpreting. It can signify that something is being organized, written or set into place. It can also signify a process of gathering and ordering information or thoughts. This can be seen in dreams as a scroll could represent an idea that is being created and written down.

Symbol of Knowledge

Scrolls can also symbolize knowledge, especially when seen in the form of religious texts such as the Bible or the Koran. This symbolizes a possible higher spiritual power or divine knowledge. Seeing a scroll in a dream speaks to spiritual guidance and the need to be more connected with a higher power.

Symbol of Wisdom

In some traditions, scrolls are seen to be a symbol of wisdom. In these cases, the scroll covers knowledge, understanding and insight, and is closely connected with discovery, exploration and learning. They can also refer to changes that are taking place in a person’s life, and can be seen as a guide to finding a higher understanding and purpose.

Symbols of Communication

Finally, scrolls can symbolize communication—the passing on of information, messages or thoughts. A scroll can be a sign that something may need to be communicated or that communication or a connection is important.

Interpreting a scroll in a dream is open to personal interpretation and understanding. In general, however, a scroll can represent:

• Organizing, writing and interpreting.
• Knowledge and spiritual power.
• Wisdom, discovery and exploration.
• The need to communicate or connect.

By paying attention to the emotions and events in the dream, as well as to the details of the scroll, it is possible for the dreamer to gain a better understanding of the dream and of the dreamer’s current state.
Dreams can often be difficult to interpret, but recognizing symbolism in our dreams may be of help. The scroll is one such symbols that may offer insight into our thoughts and feelings. It might appear as a paper or parchment with text written on it, although the scroll may also be represented in a spiral-shape.

The scroll is typically believed to signify the knowledge and understanding we currently possess. It could indicate a spiritual awakening or the need to gain more wisdom in life. We may have encountered a difficult decision or situation, and the scroll can be interpreted as a reminder to be mindful of our decisions and words before we act.

The scroll can also indicate the need to accept responsibility for our actions. It reminds us to be conscious of the choices we make and take responsibility for any possible consequences.

Dreaming of an empty scroll can signify a need to explore or improve one’s understanding of a particular topic. Usually this can represent our objectives or ambitions, though it can outside of the professional arena. On the other hand, if the scroll is full of writing, it may be worth considering our current level of knowledge in the area and whether or not we should seek further understanding.

Interpreting a dream involving a scroll can be done by examining our current situation and recognizing any unresolved issues. The dream can be a reminder to stay mindful of our decisions and need to gain new knowledge and understanding. The scroll can hold important messages and insights, so pay attention to the wider context of the dream.
