Computer

Laptop, PC, Computer screen

For many people the computer is where work, friends, news and memories all live at once, so a dream about one often reflects how you're handling information and connection. A fast, smooth machine suggests your thoughts are organized and you're getting things done. An old, slow one may show you're working with tools or habits that no longer keep up with you. A blank screen can stand for a fresh start, or for not knowing where to begin. Typing endlessly without finishing may mean a task has no clear end.

Dream variations

• Your computer crashingYou've been running too many things at once. Shut a few down and restart with what matters most.
• Losing all your filesYou fear a lot of effort could vanish. Keep a copy of what counts: write it down, share it, save it.
• Being hackedSomeone seems to know more about your business than you'd like. Change a few passwords, real or figurative, and keep some things offline.
• A computer that does things by itselfTechnology or habit is making choices for you. Take back control of one small setting.
