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 Being unable to use a computer may reflect feeling outdated or unable to keep up.
Mirror
Mirrors in dreams force confrontation with self-image and identity. What you see in the mirror reveals how you perceive yourself. A distorted reflection suggests distorted self-image.
