A bookshelf is an open shelf for the purpose of storing and displaying a collection of books. It could represent one’s ideals, beliefs, and knowledge.

Positive: Dreaming of a bookshelf could represent the mind or heart. If the bookshelf is full it could indicate God compelling, you to fill your heart with the knowledge and wisdom of His Word through studying. It could also be a call to consecrate and meditate upon the things of God. Seeing specific books on a bookshelf could be a call to read those specific books to gain wisdom or revelation from a man or woman of God.

Negative: To see a bookshelf that is empty, broken, or covered in dust could represent your spiritual mindset and the lack of true devotion to the study of God’s Word. To see large books on this shelf could represent worldly wisdom that you’ve stored up that is blocking your mind from receiving or accepting God’s Word. It could also show certain things that have negatively influenced your character.
