A phone in a dream represents communication, connection and the desire to be reached or to reach someone. It can signal a message you are waiting for, or a fear that you cannot get through. A phone that will not work points to frustration in communication or a feeling of being unreachable. A missed call may reflect an opportunity or a connection you ignored. This dream asks you to examine the lines of communication in your life, and whether you are truly being heard or merely staying in contact without connecting.
