An interpretation of blindness dreams

An interpretation of blindness dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. Sight in a dream can refer to perception or awareness. It’s a physical representation of a personal situation. To dream that you are blind can symbolize not seeing or noticing something, especially about yourself, a person you know, or a situation. You need to pay attention, “open your eyes.” For example, a woman about to get married dreams that her fiancé is blind. It distresses her to know he doesn’t see her. In this case, blind means he doesn’t really know her. He doesn’t “see” who she really is, and it distresses her. Blindness can indicate you’re aware of something but choose to ignore it. Or you struggle with seeing or acknowledging the truth, making you susceptible to being fooled or deluded. For example, you are in love with someone and know you’re being used, but you don’t care because you’re blinded by love. See no evil. Blind can mean blind to the facts or blind to the obvious. It can symbolize trouble seeing your way to a goal or destination in life, or navigating through a situation. You know where you want to go but don’t know how to get there. Or you are just plain lost, “in the dark.” See: Darkness, Lost Blindness is a versatile symbol. It can be used to figuratively describe a variety of situations, especially when combined with other symbols. For example, a blind dog can symbolize a friend who doesn’t see the obvious. A blind supervisor can symbolize inability to lead. Look for discrepancies with reality. Obviously, if you are blind or have a serious eyesight issue, blindness in your dream is more likely to reflect reality. If eyesight is not an issue for you, you can bet it’s symbolism. Keep in mind that it could be an exaggerated way of saying you don’t see well. See also: Black, Body parts, Darkness, Eyes, Lost
