“I see the same number”

DREAM: “For years now, I’ve been dreaming of the number 45. And in my waking life, I run into it all time. Do you have any idea what this means? ”

—Teresa Hoage, New York City

WHAT IT’S TELLING YOU: “Dreams of numbers represent order, logic and a desire to solve a problem. From a numerological perspective, the number 45 signifies that you are pragmatic, result-oriented, worldly and sophisticated. Not bad, eh? And when you add the numbers together, you get an additional interpretation. For example, 4 + 5 = 9, which symbolizes reliability and patience.

“I can see why your dreams have had this recurring theme. I imagine your dreaming mind thought this was valuable information your waking mind should have, like money in your pocket, raising your self-esteem and your ability to count on yourself. In the future, if you dream of other numbers, you can find the meaning of them by Googling ‘numerology’ and the specific digits.”
