Alarm Bell
Alarm Bell
An alarm bell in a dream is the sound of warning, and it tends to gather our anxieties into a single ringing note. To hear it can mark a cause for unease, something pressing on the edges of awareness. The dream often asks what is trying to get our attention, and whether we are heeding it or muffling it.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for alarm bell, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
