Dreaming of Ears

ears · mixed

Ears in dreams are about what's said and heard: well-shaped ones bring renown, hurt ones painful news and broken friendships.

What happens in the dream

  • Your ears are fine and well-shaped, or large: renown and prosperity
  • You clean your ears: good news
  • Your ear is hurt or split: a relative or friend will offend you
  • You see ears: someone ill-intentioned is listening in on your conversations to harm you
  • Your ears are misshapen: the reverse, a setback
  • Your ears are boxed: bad news
  • You lose an ear or your hearing: the loss of a friendship, or a secret betrayed

How you felt

  • Watchfulness: the dream often reflects a sense of being overheard or spied on
  • A need to be heard: perhaps a wish to finally hear, or be heard

Ask yourself

  • What am I refusing to hear?
  • Am I careful about what I confide in others?
