Translating
Carrying meaning from one language into another — the careful act of finding the closest possible equivalents.
Translating in a dream is the dream's image of the careful act of carrying meaning from one language to another. The translator does not invent; the translator finds the closest possible equivalents and is honest about what does not fully cross. The dream brings translating when something in your life — an explanation between two communities, an emotional report from one person to a third, a piece of writing being adapted — is being done with the awareness that the original and the version will not be identical. A translation done with care is the dream affirming the honest carry. A translation that has subtly tilted the original is the dream noting that the carrier has put their own slant into what was supposed to be a faithful passage.
