Paper
Blank paper, Sheet of paper, Papers flying away
Paper is where plans, promises and ideas first take shape, so in dreams it holds both possibilities and obligations. A clean, blank sheet often appears when you're facing a new beginning and haven't decided yet what to put down. Tearing paper can mark an ending, a deal or a plan you're done with. Piles of paperwork go with duties and rules that feel heavier than they should. Crumpled sheets scattered around you can reflect many tries at getting something right.
