If you dream that someone else is calling your name, this is a sign that your spirituality is strong and that you are in touch with it. You need to have a better understanding of the things that make you special and who you are as a person. Alternatively, your subconscious may be attempting to catch your attention with an essential message that you are choosing to ignore in your waking life. This could be the case if you are having recurring dreams about it.
If you dream that you see a familiar name written, it is a representation of how you feel about the person in question. Your premonitions regarding them may prove to be accurate.
Having to change your name or being referred to by a different name may be a sign that you are going through a significant transition or metamorphosis in your waking life. A reawakening is taking place within you at this time.
