| A crime novel or book as a dream symbol usually means something exciting is about to happen in your waking life. If things have been dull and drab lately, then this dream vision may perk you up because this event could shake you to the core and lead you to uncharted territory. This could either be good or bad for you, but if anything is better than boredom, then you would still find pleasure in navigating new situations and dealing with something unpredictable and challenging. |  |
