Inscription – Inscriptions are strange dream symbols because they are not able to be read in dreams. Our language center is not active during REM sleep, which means that anything we read changes its words or is impossible to read in the way that we usually do. However, inscriptions symbolize unchanging communication (though they usually do change as we read them in the dream). An inscription on an old monument or tombstone often represents a message from the wisdom of the ancients, or from a particular person connected with the tombstone. Pay attention to the idea behind the message of the inscription, even if you cannot remember the exact words of the inscription, since the words will surely change in your dream.
