things in hand
Dreaming of telephone
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To hear a clear voice from far away foretells news of an absent friend, and reconciliation with one long silent.
Drawn down, it warns of A voice that cannot be understood, or a call cut short, warns of a misunderstanding traveling between houses, words arriving twisted from how they left.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The telephone is the line between the conscious mind and everything it can't see, voices arriving without bodies. A call that connects means a part of you long out of reach has found your number.
Drawn down, it warns of A phone that won't dial, a call that keeps dropping, is a message from inside failing to get through, most often because the waking self keeps the line busy.
Did you dream this?
Keep it before it fades
Write the dream down in your journal and the cards will name its symbols for you, or have the whole dream read in full.
