What does hieroglyphs mean in a dream?
In scientific dream interpretation, hieroglyphs are a functional symbol — one that reflects a specific function or process at work in a person's life. They express the workings of a mechanism directed against the person: coded instructions the dreamer cannot read but which nonetheless run their behavior. The meaning of this image is determined by how it functions within the dream, so pay attention to exactly how it is used and what actions surround it.
