To Dream about Losing your Cell Phone

Yes I believe that every dream has a meaning, although some people do not find it significant. But here goes something that I had dreamt this time.

Summary of dream: I dreamt that I had lost my cell phones, yes both cell phones. Each one at a different time and I tried to retrace my steps but couldn’t find it. Somehow I’d always believed that the more you want to find something that you’ve lost the more you won’t be able to find it. So I left it be lost after searching for awhile. I felt I was about to give up when I found one of them hidden behind my backpack, and eventually found the other one too, which was all the while on the car seat though I wasn’t sure how I missed it.

Here’s what interpretation says about cell phone:

Dream Moods Dictionary: To see or use a cell phone in your dream indicates that you are being receptive to new information. It also represents your mobility. Alternatively, the dream signifies lack of understanding. Perhaps you are having difficulties getting through to someone.

To dream that you lost your cell phone represents a lack of communication. You have lost touch with some aspect of your feelings or your Self. If you find a cell phone, then it symbolizes reconnection and reopened communication.

Experience Project: If you have lost the cell phone, this could mean that you feel, or you have, lost something that was a part of you, or your Self. Moreover, it suggests that you are closing yourself off to understanding or confrontation.

Dream Dictionary: Phones symbolise communication or more accurately lack of communication. So look for relationships where you feel communication has broken down.

My interpretation of my dreams?? At this point of time, I’m not too sure how to define it. All I know is I’ve probably not been keeping in touch with something but I just don’t know what that something is. I suppose to lose and found it after all meant things will somehow go well eventually.

What does it mean to be DIFFERENT?

Merriam-webster defines the word “DIFFERENT” as partly or totally unlike in nature, form, or quality.

What is your definition of “DIFFERENT”?

Everyone knows that some people think alike, and some people think differently. Opinions clash sometimes, causing disagreements, dislikes, discomforts and all the ‘dis-es’ that you can possibly think of.

So yes, talking from experience, I’m different in ways that some may accept or not accept just yet. I tend to take the road less travelled, I tend to do things that people may not like or oppose to, I prefer to wear a certain colour of clothes, I prefer to wear a certain type of shoes, I present myself in a certain different way. And that’s what makes me different, but most of all it makes me comfortable.

Here’s what being different makes me feel:

  • It makes me feel inferior
  • It makes me feel like I’m the odd one out
  • It makes me feel that I don’t fit into the crowd because I am the minority and they’re the majority
  • It makes me feel uncomfortable when our opinions differ
  • It makes me feel like others don’t like me and they’re always talking about me behind my back, or whispering to others when I’m not looking

What happens when I choose something out of my ordinary “different” selection and asks for ones opinion, he/she says “That’s not you”? I decide not to buy that something just because that he/she person says it doesn’t suit me. But if I were to ask another one, he/she might say “Yes that looks nice on you” or “That’s not your normal selection but why not try something different?”.

So what’s my point? Point is everyone has different opinions, make different choices. And if your choice of something is not what others accept, for as long as it’s not breaking the law then why be afraid of being different? So if you wanted to try on a new funky colour and someone tells you that’s not you, why not just give that colour a try as long as it makes you comfortable?

And yes, truth be told, there are still some times when someone says an opposing opinion to mine, I would decide otherwise and try to be what that person agrees to. But I’m learning to accept the meaning of “different” and being “different”, and at the same time, I am also trying to tell everyone else around me that just cause I don’t carry a handbag, just cause I want to try on a new colour, just cause I don’t wear that kind of shoes, that doesn’t make me any less a girl, that doesn’t make me any less a human – it just makes me “different than you”.

Embrace the word “different”, embrace being different, and most of all be comfortable about being different from others.

P/s:- “Be your imperfectly prefect self. – In this crazy world that’s trying to make you like everyone else, find the courage to keep being your awesome self.  And when they laugh at you for being different, laugh back at them for being the same.  Spend more time with those who make you smile and less time with those who you feel pressured to impress.  Be your imperfectly perfect self around them.  We are not perfect for everyone, we are only perfect for those select few people that really take the time to get to know us and love us for who we really are.  And to those select few, being our imperfectly perfect self is what they love about us.” – 20 Things to Start Doing in Your Relationships

Week 52.5

The week passed swiftly but not without the lack of sleep due to the change of schedule and house chores to complete. Everything went smoothly as well and went back safe and sound.

There’s no place like home…
