Complete Dictionary of Dreams

An echo is created when sound waves bounce off of land masses and return in the form of a repeated frequency of the original sound. In this way, an echo is the symbolic ability to be aware of distant boundaries and limitations. In a very simple way, it is an indication of where the next mountain to climb is going to be. Additionally, the desire to be heard by another person in an experience of intimacy is also reflected by the concept of an echo. In both cases, the power of the echo is in the information it provides. An echo in a dream is asking, “Do you feel heard and do you know where you are going?”

If you heard echoes in your dream or repeated words, can you recognize the voice and can you recall the words? If the voice belongs to a figure from the past, dead or alive, the echo may be trying to remind or warn you of something about which you may have forgotten.

If the voice was yours and you are repeating the words of someone else, your dreaming mind may be urging you not to imitate or parrot someone else. Consider if your dream was evoking memories from the past or whether it suggests that you are stuck in a routine from which you need to break free in order to express your creativity.
