Books can be indicative of calmness- perhaps you are moving in the right direction to achieve your goals- at a slow but steady pace. You know you will get there but you like to take your time and do things methodically.

Books can also be symbolic of knowledge, intelligence, wisdom and information. Perhaps you have learned a new skill lately or someone has come to you because you specialise in a certain thing and can pass on what you know. Or it could be that you crave more knowledge and feel the need to learn something new or more.

If the book was open, it can mean that you pick up new things relatively easily.
Think back to what type of book it was- it could be your subconscious pushing you towards something that deep down you really want to pursue- this could be writing a book, editing other people's work or illustrating someone else's writing for instance.
Another interpretation is that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover- perhaps you have judged someone too quickly and you need to give them a second chance.
Another thought process is that a book represents firm attitudes of those around you and you want to look beyond this rigidity.

Think of the bigger picture. Toothache can also represent a worry you have about your health. Perhaps you are afraid to find out what your complaint might be as you have built it up to be the worst case scenario. The not knowing is affecting you badly so it might be wise to seek out the truth to put your mind at ease. You might be feeling more sensitive about something or someone right now and the slightest reference or mention is distracting you. Why are you so reactive to this person or thing? Is it something that can be addressed? Or perhaps all you need is time to heal and to come to terms with the situation...
