To dream about a column represents feelings of being the main source of support for someone in your waking hours.

Perhaps you are being strong for someone who is feeling weak right now or lacks the energy to go it alone. 

While this is admirable, you may be feeling the burden of this responsibility which you believe is yours to take on. 

Or- perhaps it’s been thrust upon you by this other person when it’s not your issue to solve. 

It’s possible you don’t have the appropriate skills or knowledge to give this person what they need even if you want to because they are a good friend, partner or family member. 

In which case, do you need to point them in the direction of someone who has the necessary background and qualifications? Perhaps the best help you can give them is to seek out a professional in this field. 

On the flipside, are you leaning heavily on someone right now? Perhaps the dream is telling you that you need to ease off. Maybe you are putting too much on their shoulders and what you are expecting of them simply isn't fair or right. 

While you may not want to admit it- it’s your problem and therefore the majority of the weight should be with you. 

They are there to help- not take it off you completely. Try to remember this when they offer you assistance. 

If there was a crack in the column, it was leaning to one side or had collapsed, perhaps someone or something you once relied on is no longer stable. 

Do you need to walk away from this person or thing altogether if it’s too dangerous to try and repair the damage?

Maybe there is scope to fix what has gone wrong, however be mindful that what might look like a small adjustment might end up being far more than you anticipated. Be careful. 

If you saw a column in a newspaper or magazine- try to remember what it was about. 

The topic of the piece may have some relevance to what is going on in your world at present. 

Perhaps it held the answer you’ve been looking for or some well needed advice- especially if it was an agony aunt style column. 

If you wrote the column- the dream might be encouraging you to write something down if you can’t make sense of it in your waking hours. 

Another interpretation is that you have something worthy of publication and should try to get it picked up by a magazine or newspaper if you feel it is ready for public consumption.

Do you need to get in touch with someone you’ve not seen in a while or create better lines of communication between someone close to you? Or do you need to listen to your inner needs and desires? Pay attention to your inner voice to give you greater insight. Perhaps you feel you can’t express yourself to those around you. You are trying to get your message across to people in your waking hours about your thoughts and feelings but you need an alternative method. Consider what you were writing. If it was the names of people in your life- think about the way they make you feel. Are they a positive or negative influence on you? If you were writing with a piece of chalk or a pencil- perhaps the plans you are making are not permanent and are less important to you than you are making out. Writing a book in a dreamscape, indicates a desire to be creative- perhaps you need to explore a new hobby that stretches your creative muscles...
