Eyes / Sight / Blindness in Dreams: Meaning in Depth Psychology
What you can and can't see. Dreams about eyes, sight, and blindness tend to track awareness itself: what about your situation is clear, what stays out of view, what you may be choosing not to look at. New glasses, failing vision, a third eye: each shifts the reading.
THE CORE MEANING
Consciousness itself: the capacity to see, to know, to perceive truth. Eyes in dreams represent what you can and cannot see about yourself and your situation. Blindness is unconsciousness; clear sight is consciousness; the third eye is spiritual vision.
VARIATIONS: CONTEXT CHANGES THE MEANING
- clear sight: Consciousness expanded: you can see what was hidden
- blindness: Something you cannot or will not see, unconsciousness about a specific area
- someone watching: Being observed by the unconscious: the Self's eye on the ego, or a complex monitoring your behavior
- eye injury: Damage to the capacity for consciousness: something has been hurt that affects your ability to see clearly
- glasses lens: A framework for seeing: the particular lens (psychological, spiritual, intellectual) through which you're viewing your experience
