Dream Interpretation | To dream of a publisher, foretells long journeys and aspirations to the literary craft. If a woman dreams that her husband is a publisher, she will be jealous of more than one woman of his acquaintance, and spicy scenes will ensue. For a publisher to reject your manuscript, denotes that you will suffer disappointment at the miscarriage of cherished designs. If he accepts it, you will rejoice in the full fruition of your hopes. If he loses it, you will suffer evil at the hands of strangers. Source: Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted .... |
