To dream of manuscript in an unfinished state, forebodes disappointment. If finished and clearly written, great hopes will be realized.
If you are at work on manuscript, you will have many fears for some cherished hope, but if you keep the blurs out of your work you will succeed in your undertakings. If it is rejected by the publishers, you will be hopeless for a time, but eventually your most sanguine desires will become a reality.
If you lose it, you will be subjected to disappointment.
If you see it burn, some work of your own will bring you profit and much elevation.
Take a question into your day.
These journal questions are DreamFolia’s invitation to reflect on your experience.
