Personal symbolism
A passing bell is a sound associated with loss, and the dream distinguishes between hearing it and ringing it yourself. Hearing it turns attention toward news about someone who is absent; ringing it shifts the concern toward your own health and reversals. Consider how close or distant the sound seemed and what emotion came with it. The scene may feel especially connected to someone you have not seen recently or a difficult change you are facing.
Questions to reflect on
- Did you hear the bell or ring it yourself?
