Listen – Listening is an important dream symbol of communication. Many times, our communication dream symbols focus on our own attempts to be heard and understood, so we dream about things like speaking, singing, or writing. With listening, though, this dream symbol is focused on understanding the things that are communicated to us. If you dream of listening to someone else, this is an indication that you need to pay attention to the things they say in waking life, or that they have important insights. On the other hand, if you dream of trying to listen to someone, only to find that they do not make sense or you cannot understand them, this is indicative of a breakdown in communication between the two of you, and the direction in which the communication is failing.
