Receiving a message by whatever means in dreams signifies communication, probably from the Higher Self. Sending a message from a spiritual perspective suggests trying to make contact with Spirit. Dreams themselves were, and still are, considered to be messages from the gods or spiritual realms. As such, they require careful interpretation; images of letters, parcels, emails and other technology can all signify messages from the unconscious or instinctive realms. In dreams, receiving or sending a message highlights the importance of information per se. Particularly if we work in the creative fields and information technology, messages in dreams will represent our ability to handle such input. To remember the input suggests the information is useful, to forget, that we have the information but must rediscover it. A message in a bottle signifies that contact is being made from the less accessible parts of our personality.
