《周公解梦》
梦打电话者主通联，言和顺畅福运绵；求教贵人多指引，拨号即通事皆全；呼叫无应多孤助，言语争执惹非缠。 Plain Interpretation: Dreaming of making a phone call indicates connecting and communicating heartfelt intentions with people in your network. If the conversation is pleasant and smooth, blessings and fortune will last long and far. Calling respected elders for advice often brings opportunities for guidance and direction. An immediate connection means the plans you have in mind can all be accomplished completely. Repeated unanswered calls indicate that you will have little help from others in difficult times. Arguing endlessly on the call can easily provoke entanglements of gossip and strife.

电话者，通人脉、达心事之具也；通则人和事顺，阻则缘隔事滞；通话和缓者结善缘，言语争锋者生嫌怨；求助致电者盼人助，无应不通者少机缘。 Plain Interpretation: The telephone is a tool to connect people and convey one's thoughts. Smooth connection leads to harmonious relationships and smooth endeavors. Blocked lines or unanswered calls indicate severed connections and stagnant affairs.
