Computer
Computers represent mental processing, intellectual work, and the logical mind. A malfunctioning computer suggests cognitive overload, confusion, or an inability to process information. A computer virus may represent toxic ideas or corrupted thinking. In modern dreams, computers increasingly represent the boundary between real and virtual life. Being unable to use a computer may reflect feeling outdated or unable to keep up.
Crying
Crying in dreams is a powerful form of emotional release. Many people wake from crying dreams with actual tears on their face, indicating the depth of emotional processing occurring during sleep. These dreams often appear when suppressed emotions need an outlet. Crying tears of joy in a dream represents overwhelming positive emotion. Watching someone else cry may indicate empathy or guilt about their pain.
