Journal

To see or read a journal in your dream, suggests that you are trying to change or rewrite the past to suit your own needs. Consider what is written in the journal and how it is similar or dissimilar to actual events in your waking life.

Alternatively, it symbolizes memories and history.

To dream that someone is reading your journal, indicates that you are keeping secrets. You have difficulties telling others how you really feel.
