Dreams about Phone

Dreaming about a phone in general, such as a newer digital device or an antique with a rotary dial, represents forming connections or forging deeper bonds with the people who you saw in the same vision. Phones connect people in real life, and seeing a phone within a dream can be interpreted as the effort you make to create links between yourself and others. The people you connect with may not be physically near you, but nonetheless they will be major players throughout the dream. This also harks back to your experiences in everyday life, as you know whom you are going to call and connect with whenever you pick up the phone.

Envisioning yourself answering a phone in a dream means having lingering thoughts about some unimportant and relatively uninteresting news you may have recently received or heard. You possibly obtained this information through an actual phone conversation, such as with a friend or family member, or saw it on a news program or website. Dreaming of answering your phone is therefore usually interpreted as a hint to rethink and learn more about this topic to figure out why your subconscious mind is focused on it. It may be more important than you originally thought.

Having a dream about a phone that is ringing, whether it is a short series of beeps or a persistent noise, is a warning to be more attentive to news or information you receive. It is possible that you can make significant progress or greatly benefit from paying attention and trying to learn as much as you can about this topic, particularly when it could be related to career goals or other dreams you are trying to achieve.

Seeing yourself using a phone to call and contact someone within a dream represents being given secret or some other confidential information or material. However, just as it is easy to speak too long or say too much when chatting on the phone, this dream portends a betrayal of trust from you, by either purposefully or accidentally spreading this information around. The result of this action would likely depend on the type of information distributed and how sensitive it initially was.

Having a dream about someone contacting you using a phone, as opposed to other means of communication, indicates a predisposition to being the center of a social circle and involved with the creation or propagation of rumors. Your participation in these activities is likely due to liking the interaction and chatting with others, or you may simply find the matters concerning others to be more interesting or entertaining. However, dreaming about receiving a phone call may be a warning to be more considerate of the thoughts and feelings of the people you are talking about. Perhaps they may discover the origins of the gossip and your contributions to these malicious rumors.

Envisioning yourself looking at or observing a phone is a sign that can mean you may soon be deceived or tricked by someone you trust. Just as phones may help disguise a person or their true intentions when information is not shared face-to-face, so does this dream portend being swept up in or becoming unintentionally involved with some disreputable activities you normally would never participate in. This dream may be a warning to carefully consider the information and advice you receive and to listen to your heart and conscience if something does not seem quite right.

Finding yourself near a ringing phone, but not answering it or interacting with it, is a positive sign predicting the avoidance of issues or setbacks caused by people who are jealous of you. Ringing phones are a major distraction in real life and in dreams they represent people getting in the way of the plans you want to complete or goals you wish to accomplish. However, not giving in to the noise created by the ringing device indicates successfully outmaneuvering those who would seek your downfall or failure.

Dreaming about an old phone, such as an antique or an out-dated model, is often associated with lies and betrayal. Using or seeing an old, possibly worn-out phone represents a break in communication which leads to a breach in your relationship with someone close to you, possibly a dear friend or family member. This person may be openly hostile or act nice to your face but actually has something to hide or is insincere.

Envisioning yourself trying to use a broken phone, particularly while in dangerous or dire circumstances, predicts experiencing a precarious, possibly volatile situation involving someone you were once close to. It may be that there has been a rift caused by misunderstanding or a more serious division of morals or principles. This dream can therefore be interpreted as a warning that you should make plans or take steps to salvage the relationship before the damage is irreparable.

Dreaming about buying a phone, either a landline or a mobile device, is often interpreted as a sign that you will meet someone who will benefit you in some way. This person you will come into contact with likely has the experience or expertise you require for a project you are working on. With their advice, you should be able to complete your objective faster, more efficiently and with a better outcome.

Having a dream vision of a phone, for a woman, contains the prediction that female rivals may be devising plans against you. When a phone, or the image thereof, appears in a woman's dream, it usually symbolizes that her romantic endeavors are in danger of being sabotaged by other parties. This may include direct interference, like preventing a meeting or giving incorrect information, or it may be more discreet, like gossip and rumors. Using the device but having difficulty hearing the other end also points toward unflattering talk which may, in some cases, lead to the dissolving of a romantic relationship if not dealt with quickly.

Having a dream in which you are trying to use a landline phone that has had its cord cut symbolizes a disconnect with reality. Perhaps you experienced some loss you are not quite ready to cope with, or maybe your life in general seems a little out of control. Attempting to use a phone that is out of service could also represent contemplating the concept of death, perhaps due to the recent passing of someone you know or exposure to some gruesome, fatal accident.

Dreaming about trying to contact someone via a phone and being successful in this matter is a positive sign indicating reconnecting with someone you have fallen out of touch with. This may be an old schoolmate you haven't spoken to in some time or a distant family member you used to be close to. Being unsuccessful in contacting someone on the phone, however, does not have the exact opposite meaning. Rather, it points to self-deprecating feelings or behavior. You may think you are unlucky when in reality there is nothing wrong or very few problems in your life.

Envisioning yourself trying to receive documents via a phone fax machine in a dream represents the hard work as well as time and effort you have recently put into projects you have been assigned or goals you are working on. This might point toward those efforts being recognized or rewarded. Additionally, dreaming of trying to send documents using what looked like a phone fax machine portends experiencing some difficulties or roadblocks, but successfully overcoming them by quickly adapting to the new situation or utilizing some quick-thinking to solve the problem.

The pitch black room is a projection of your fears and insecurities which could be holding you back. It likely points to your lack of knowledge about or experience in socializing with the opposite sex. In contrast, the smartphone symbolizes an opportunity for you to break free and widen your understanding of the world around you. It is hovering above the hands of the girl you like to illustrate the message that you have the power to make the first move in order to get to know her better, or at least meet new friends. This is your subconscious showing a way for you to have the courage to get out of your comfort zone and overcome episodic shyness.
