Computer Dream Interpretation: Insights from 18 Unique Sources

Universal Landscape: Organization of thought; memory. The brain.

Dreaming Lens: Were you using a computer? Were you inside a computer? Was it a PC or laptop? Mac? Mainframe? Older? Newer? What were you trying to accomplish on the computer? How was it functioning? Did your hard drive crash?

Personal Focus: A computer is structured very much like the human brain. There is an operating system that allows other software programs to run. This is like the network of nerve cells that make up the majority of brain tissue. There is also a hard drive, which stores everything that has ever been input into it. This is akin to the neural pathways created by the brain’s recording of sensory data it receives in the form of memory and knowledge. There is RAM, or desktop memory, that is like your conscious mind. This includes your daily production of short-term memory that is processed each night when you dream. The process that occurs during REM sleep is much like backing up your computer files for protection on a daily basis.

When a computer features prominently in your dreams, you are considering how your mind is working. The state of affairs in your dream computer may very well be mirroring the state of affairs in your current thought patterns. If you experience a computer crash in your dream, the same overload is likely to be happening in your experience of some chaotic element of life. Backing up your hard drive may be a signal to retain new information that has recently been integrated into your sense of self. Writing code or installing new software could connect to changing or upgrading your thought patterns and perceptions in life, or a need to do so. A network of more than one computer may point to a life situation that requires interaction with others on an intellectual or academic level.

How readily you understand and comprehend the computer’s functioning in your dream will mirror your waking life ability to operate in the realm of intelligence or learning.

If you dream of a computer, pay careful attention to the other symbols in your dream.

The computer is saying “put the pieces together to understand the overall meaning.” Also, if you use a computer a lot during your waking life for work or play, your dream could be telling you to get outside more and take a break from the screen.

If you dream of someone hacking into your computer, there is a sense that your privacy is being invaded. You may be overwhelmed and have the feeling that you are at the mercy of another. Also see “Computer Game”, “Computer Virus” and “Computer Mouse”, below.

2- We are making a link with past memories or stored information which we may need to access in order to progress.

3- The computer can symbolise spiritual records and the past, present and future.

A PC may reflect your concerns about work. It may metaphorically stand for the ability to process information or for brain function. Problems with your personal computer may point to difficulties in processing data internally or in thinking clearly.

For example, losing text may represent forgetting impor tant information. Accidentally deleting something may Indicate your losing information or forgetting ideas that are critical.
