A dream about using a pencil signifies that you are in control of your life and are making careful and deliberate decisions. That's the simple dream interpretation, at least.

It can also represent a desire to communicate or express yourself. Seeing someone else use a pencil in your dream suggests that you may be feeling influenced or guided by someone else's decisions or actions. This could be a sign that you need to assert yourself more and take control of your own path.

A pencil can be a somewhat rich and colorful dream concept to really clarify with certainty. To say for sure, it's really necessary to really get to know the dreamer's past and current circumstances.
