Not being able to make a phone call is read as a failure to bridge the gap between the self and distant matters. The root of the symbol lies in the transmission of a voice across a void, and the inability to perform this action signifies a blockage in the reaching of an understanding. This dream does not suggest a loss of purpose, but rather a temporary suspension of the flow of information.
The attempt of trying to make a phone call shows a struggle against this silence. This movement signifies an intent to settle a matter far away that finds no way through. The dream points to a state where the intention to communicate is present, yet the path remains closed. A lack of connection marks the current station of the dreamer.
The effort of trying to make a phone call shifts the meaning from a passive state to an active pursuit of things far removed. This struggle shows an impulse to settle a matter that is held back by things outside the self.
For its more general meaning: Dream about a phone call
Dreamt I was trying to reach my ex but everytime I called his number I saw another name on the phone.
A noble welcome to you Rachel,
Your dream is a message for proceeding, love and comfort. This dream hints that you need to proceed with caution in conducting some business matter. You may experience setbacks and disappointments in love. You tend to sacrifice your own comfort and happiness for others.
May your dreams always find their interpretation here.
