If you have a dream where you are the author of a work or book, it could suggest that you may find yourself in a situation where you need to defend your ideas or accomplishments to those in positions of authority. It implies that there may be challenges ahead, but with determination and confidence in your work, you can successfully advocate for yourself.

If you have a dream where you encounter an author, it could symbolise an upcoming pleasant and lively conversation in your waking life. However, if the dream involves talking or arguing with the author, it might be a sign of potential setbacks or failures at work. On the other hand, if you yourself are portrayed as the author in the dream, it suggests that your work will require your attention and care in order to achieve success.
