Drawing
Full Interpretation
Drawing in dreams represents the first sketches of ideas, planning, creative exploration, and the desire to give form to thoughts before committing to final execution. Drawing suggests you are in the early, exploratory phase of a creative or planning process. Drawing a face points to your attempt to understand a particular person, or to recognise yourself, while drawing a map shows a mind trying to lay out a route through something still unfamiliar. Being unable to draw reflects a block between what you feel and what you can express, and a child drawing recalls the freedom you had before you started judging the result. Psychologically, drawing symbolises the tentative expression of the unconscious through line and form โ the mind's first attempt to make sense of feelings and ideas. Erasing and redrawing reflects the iterative nature of self-understanding. Spiritually, drawing is the primordial creative act, reminding you that every great creation begins with a simple line on a blank surface. Sketch the idea you have been holding in your head instead of waiting until it is perfect.
