Through the heart
Hearing your name called is a wish to have your existence acknowledged. It may show a hope that someone will notice you, or a feeling that some task in a corner of your mind is calling you.

Lucky or unlucky?
Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things
Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
