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 Being unable to use a computer may reflect feeling outdated or unable to keep up.
Twin or Double
Seeing your double, twin, or doppelganger in a dream represents confrontation with another aspect of yourself — perhaps a side you don't normally acknowledge. This can represent inner conflict between two desires, the gap between who you are and who you present to the world, or the emergence of an undeveloped part of your personality seeking integration.
