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.

Sometimes we dream of something that we wish for – like numbers with which we can play and win a lottery.  Sometimes, but not always, we’re dreaming lucky numbers, which later actually are inevitable and inexplicable in a lottery. However, we should not rely on such dreams.
