The core meaning

What does this dream mean?

A friend forgetting your name can express concern that a bond is changing or that an important part of you is not being acknowledged.

The symbol alone is only one part of the dream. Its behaviour, condition, location, your reaction and what happened immediately before and after it can change the interpretation. Your own association is more useful than a universal prediction.
