mental programming
A 'Computer' in a dream represents the mental programming that shapes how your mind operates. A computer operates according to the software and programs installed on it. It does not choose what to do -- it executes the code it has been given. In the Universal Language of the Mind, this reflects the programming within your subconscious mind -- the beliefs, patterns, and habitual thought processes that run automatically. Much of your behavior and thinking is programmed. You were programmed by your parents, your culture, your experiences, and your own repeated thoughts. These programs run in the background of your mind, shaping your reality without your conscious awareness -- just as a computer's operating system runs in the background. Pay attention to what the computer is doing in the dream. Is it working properly, reflecting programming that is serving you well? Is it crashing, glitching, or infected with a virus, indicating that some of your mental programming is malfunctioning and creating problems in your life? Are you reprogramming the computer, reflecting your active effort to change your beliefs and mental patterns? When a computer shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to examine the programming running within your mind. What beliefs were installed that you did not choose? What patterns are running automatically that no longer serve you? You have the power to reprogram your mind through conscious repetition of new thoughts, visualization, and the disciplined practice of concentration.
