Books

Dreaming of books points to tranquility. Any goals you currently have, you are moving towards them steadily, and in this way, you won’t burn yourself out.

Your boss appearing in your dream can indicate that you are spending too much time thinking about work. You’re not allowing yourself to rest. It can even point to a lack of freedom, or your own limitations which are holding you back.

Breasts

Dreaming of breasts can represent the instinctual need to be cared for. This dream can also embody dependency, a nurturing nature, and a parental love or role. It can also symbolize sexuality or motherhood.

Naked breasts in your dream can be a symbol of an invasion of privacy that’s bled through from your waking life. It can also indicate worries about becoming an adult or a parent.

If you dream that one of your breasts is missing, you feel unworthy of desire or a similar insecurity. If you dream of your boobs being wildly lopsided or asymmetrical, your sex life has a large imbalance or lack of satisfaction.

You may want a reprieve from your waking life’s responsibilities, or you feel unable to care for yourself as you have so much going on. Or, this dream can suggest you are ‘submerged’ in your feelings, after a long time of being disconnected from them.
