Computer
Intellect, processing, modern life
Pig
Abundance, indulgence, earthiness
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 Being unable to use a computer may reflect feeling outdated or unable to keep up.
Pig
Pigs in dreams can represent abundance and prosperity (piggy bank symbolism), earthiness and groundedness, or overindulgence and gluttony. In Chinese culture, pigs represent wealth, fortune, and honest work. In Western symbolism, pigs are sometimes associated with sloth and excess. The context of the dream determines which meaning applies — a happy pig on a farm differs greatly from a pig in filth.
