Quill – A quill, or a writing pen that is made from the feather of a bird, is a symbol of communication. It is also antiquated and old-fashioned, indicating manners and sensibilities that are a throwback to the past. It is often seen as being graceful and beautiful. The person to whom you are writing with a quill inspires these feelings in you. If you dream that you are writing something other than a letter with a quill, this symbolizes the way you view your creative process – slow, methodical, beautiful, and not very technological.
