Numbers (Numerology)
Any number or string of
numbers in a dream should be considered
a symbol and decoded just like
any other dream symbol through the process of numerology.
What exactly is numerology and how does it relate to dreams?
Numerology is a
metaphysical science that reflects certain meanings in the relationship
between numbers and living things.
Since the universe and everything in it can be traced back to
mathematics (like it or not), then this particular science is worth
looking into.
Our dreaming minds
understand how numbers work even if your conscious mind does not. Think
of Numerology as a way for our waking minds to bridge that gap of
understanding.
When dream numbers are literal such as the portrayal of a phone number,
clock time, birthday or some other date, pay attention to where the
numbers appear (on a calendar, book, watch, house, gravestone, a bill
and so on). This is an important indicator of what the content of the
number message is all about.
However, if the numbers are more on the mystical
side such as seeing 5 of something in a group, or performing a
particular gesture 3 times etc.…then numerology can be very
helpful in triggering understanding.
Below are some universal
meanings of numbers 0 thru 9
gathered from multiple numerology sources, but they basically agree on
the overall message.
NOTE:
Any double digit numbers can be broken down to a single digit, for
example: 21 = 3 (2+1)
Another example would be 99 = 9 (9+9 = 18, then
1+8 = 9)
Just keep breaking it down until you have a single digit. Numerology
can get more complicated than this, but it is really not necessary for
most dream work.
Do NOT use the list below as the absolute meanings, but only as
inspiration for your own interpretations. Key
words are in bold for each
number listed.
