General Meanings:

If the subject of the dream is pointed to numbers, then they have either a personalized meaning or symbolical content for the dreamer. For example, if you tried in vain to remember numbers in the waking state, then they can occur easily in a dream. These numbers can show an important date – birthday, phone number or address.

Unconsciously the dreamer often keeps the meaning of a number in memory, even if it is not consciously accessible to him any more. The number may be related to a date of an actual event in the relationship and then such dream doesn’t require special interpretation.
