When words etched in stone catch your eye, pay attention. The dream may foretell loss or signal that a chapter is closing, urging you to honor what has been written before forging ahead.

Inscribed names and dates remind you of legacy—what stories remain when actions end. Consider how you want your own narrative to read.
