Telephone

A 'Telephone' in a dream represents communication. A telephone is a device specifically designed for two-way, real-time communication between people who are not in the same physical location. You speak, they hear. They speak, you hear. Information flows in both directions through an invisible medium that connects two separate points. In the Universal Language of the Mind, a telephone reflects the communication occurring between different aspects of your consciousness that are not on the same level. Your conscious mind communicates with your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind communicates with your superconscious mind. Your Inner Self communicates with your outer self. These aspects exist on different levels -- different floors of the same house -- and the telephone represents the mechanism that connects them. This communication is always happening, whether you are aware of it or not. Your subconscious mind is sending you messages through dreams, through intuitive feelings, through gut instincts, through sudden knowings. Your superconscious mind is sending you guidance through the breath, through moments of transcendence, through the still small voice within. The question is not whether the telephone is ringing. It is always ringing. The question is whether you are picking it up. Pay attention to the condition of the telephone and the quality of the call. Is the line clear, reflecting strong, undistorted communication between your levels of mind? Is there static or interference, indicating that something is disrupting the signal -- perhaps too much conscious mind chatter drowning out the subtle inner messages? Is the phone ringing and you are not answering, suggesting that your Inner Self is trying to reach you but you are not receptive? Are you unable to dial, reflecting difficulty in sending clear intentions to your subconscious? Is the phone dead or broken, indicating a serious breakdown in your inner communication system? When a telephone shows up in your dream, it is calling for you to assess and improve the communication between all levels of your consciousness. Are you sending clear messages to your subconscious mind through focused visualization and precise intention? Are you receiving the messages from your subconscious through your dreams and intuition? Are you creating the stillness necessary to hear the guidance of your superconscious mind? Communication is a two-way process -- both sending and receiving must be functioning for the system to work. Practice concentration to clear the static. Interpret your dreams to receive the incoming calls. Visualize your desires to send your outgoing messages. Keep the lines open.
