Zero

Interpreting numbers that we see in dreams may be difficult. Their meaning my be very personal, such as a reflection of financial concern or any other area of daily life represented by numbers. One way to interpret numbers is to try to see how they are specifically related to you.

(E.g.

If you have the number 25 in your dream. Your house number is 12 while your parent’s number is 13. Together they make 25, and this dream could have been addressing issues in regard to you and your parents.) Generally, if you see a zero as part of a number, interpret it as you would any other number in your dreams.

See Numbers. Otherwise, a zero can have the same meaning as a circle.

The circle symbolizes infinity, completeness, and wholeness, the circle of life and the eternal unknown. You the dreamer may have come to a greater degree of spiritual awareness and the dream could be spiritual in nature. However, as always, examine all of the details in the dream, as well as its tone and mood, and rule out the possibility of “going in circles” as the primary message in the dream.

In dreams, zero denotes timelessness, super-consciousness, eternity and absolute freedom. It also symbolizes spirituality. Because it is linked in shape with seeds and eggs, it also suggests potential yet to be realized.

If zero appears to the right of other numbers, it multiplies them by ten and therefore indicates abundance or infinite potential and possibilities. Alternatively, a zero is without value or substance on its own and may be a symbol of desolation and loneliness. The more mystic interpretation suggests that zero is a symbol of the unconscious, the feminine and the great mother archetype. In Tarot, zero is the unnumbered card, the Fool, which is also a symbol of the unconscious mind. Its associated shape is the circle or the mandala.

(1) Because it is represented by a circle, zero may symbolize completeness; eternity; or your true self.

See also Mandala.

(2) It may signify zero-hour, or time for blast-off, in which case it may mean that now is the time for doing something about yourself: for example, putting into practice what you have learned from life or from dreams.

(3) It may symbolize ‘nothingness’ in the sense of worthlessness or emptiness. Perhaps you are being shown the vanity of vanity, the ultimate meaninglessness of worldly ambition and success, or the ultimate insubstantiality of the egotistic self.
