Number Three
Three represents the creative principle, expression, and the resolution of duality into synthesis. The trinity archetype appears in countless traditions: Father/Son/Spirit, Maiden/Mother/Crone, past/present/future. In dreams, three often represents the beginning, middle, and end of something, or the mind-body-spirit connection. Three objects or events suggest a pattern or a message about creative expression.
Phone
Phones in dreams represent communication, connection with others, and your ability to reach out or be reached. A ringing phone suggests an important message or call to action. A phone that won't work reflects communication breakdown. Losing your phone symbolizes disconnection and anxiety about being unreachable. In modern dreams, phones increasingly represent distraction and the fear of missing information.
