Scribe
A trained writer who copies and records — the hand that keeps a society's documents legible across time.
A scribe in a dream is the dream's image of the trained hand that keeps a society's documents legible across time. The scribe does not compose; the scribe records and copies, and the record is what makes the future able to read the past. The dream brings the scribe when something in your life — a piece of careful documentation, a tradition of family records, a faithful minute-taking — is currently being kept by a patient, accurate, often unnamed hand. A scribe working without error is the dream affirming the careful record. A scribe who tires and begins to introduce small variations is the dream noting that the record is being unconsciously edited in transmission, and the future will inherit the drift.
