Traditional reading

Receiving a brush or inkstone has been handed down as a conception dream of carrying a child who excels in learning and the arts. The finer the brush and the deeper the ink, the deeper the child's writing and thinking and the more they'd leave a name behind.

Through the heart

A brush symbolizes a wish to express and record. If it's not about a baby, it may be a sign that a good time has come to let out your feelings through writing or creating.

Scene by scene

Inheriting a brush from an elder
Seen as a child who carries on the blessing of learning.
Writing large characters on white paper
Read as a child who holds great ambitions and pursues them.
The brush tip splits and won't write
Your thoughts are tangled, so sort them out one at a time.

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things

Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
