Dreaming of Eyes
In short
What does dreaming of Eyes mean?
Dreaming of eyes evokes perception and awakening consciousness — the inner eye that observes, the third eye (Ajna chakra) that sees beyond appearances. Linked to the Moon, Neptune, and the Eye of Horus (Oudjat), this dream may also touch the anxiety of losing one's sight — the castration anxiety Freud associated with vision. To see is to know.
Jungian interpretation
The inner eye, the observing consciousness. A thousand eyes signify the advent of total awareness.
Freudian interpretation
The fear of losing one's eyes as castration anxiety — the basis of Hoffmann's 'The Sandman.'
Esoteric meaning
