Hi Kathy,
Sometimes the negativity of the other symbols hints that the numbers are negative. So sometimes the numbers are not displayed in a negative color but are negative, based on the meanings of the other symbols. Take note that this is not always the case. We need the help of the Holy Spirit with this.
Also, in “DIC 4 Symbolism: Practical Application In Context” of the dream interpretation course, we learn how to successfully identify the underlying themes and the possible triggers of dreams and visions. All the symbols must be supported by the foundation (underlying theme), so these factors all work together to help you realize when numbers are negative.
