Reading portrays the pursuit of knowledge. Higher learning, ancient or esoteric wisdom, self-analysis, self-development, philosophy, and ideas into our human nature can all be prevalent. Simultaneously, you may want to be entertained and receive simple joys and pleasures from reading.
If you dream that you are reading in a warm, cozy, and home-like environment, this dream element suggests your need for simplicity and the finer things in life. Luxury, comfort and simplistic abundance define your character and passions.
If you dream you are reading in some exotic location, or on a holiday with beautiful surroundings, you are craving some adventure and inspiration from travel, or from nature and the natural world.
The type of book will provide key insights as will the location of the reading.
