What does it mean to dream about typewriter?
A typewriter usually stands for putting thoughts into a fixed, deliberate form, so it helps to ask whether the words came or the keys jammed.
Four ways to read it
Each reading below comes from a named tradition and a cited source, so you can see where it came from and decide what fits your dream.
Freud
Freud would read the urge to set thoughts down in print as a wish to fix and control what is otherwise fleeting, perhaps to confess or to be read. Keys that stick can carry the strain of saying a hard thing.

Jung might see the typewriter as the careful work of giving the inner voice a clear, lasting shape. Struggling with it can mark a message from within that resists being put plainly.
Jungian concept (our summary).Modern
Continuity ties a typewriter to waking thoughts about communication, getting words right, and leaving a record. Jammed or missing keys often echo a real difficulty in saying what you mean.
Continuity hypothesis (our summary).Mythological
The written word carries weight across myth as the inscribed law, the spell set down, and the name recorded in the book of fate. To commit something to writing was long felt to make it binding.
