If you dream of using a pay telephone, you are putting up an emotional wall between yourself and a close friend or romantic partner. You are not giving them your complete trust - perhaps you don’t think they have earned it.
To dream of a ringing pay phone means you are refusing to hear what someone is telling you.
If you have trouble hearing over a pay phone, you might be the topic of unkind gossip.
An out-of-order pay phone means you have missed a great opportunity to speak your mind.
