Dreaming of an Eye
eye, eyeball, gaze, sight · mostly negative
An eye in a dream is about being watched and wary: enemies on the lookout, rivals, and trouble if the eyes are hurt.
What happens in the dream
- You see an eye: watchful enemies are looking for any chance to harm your business; in love, a rival could take your place
- Brown eyes: deceit; blue eyes: weak resolve; gray eyes: a fondness for flattery
- You lose an eye or your eyes are sore: trouble, illness, lost friends or disappointment in love
- Someone has a squint or a damaged eye: disappointment or a thwarted plan
- You see a one-eyed person: a threat of loss and trouble that will dwarf all the rest
- If you're expecting a child and dream of losing your eyes: worry about the child's future
How you felt
- Feeling watched: the dream often reflects a fear of others' gaze or judgment
- Vigilance: you may be trying to see a situation clearly
Ask yourself
- Who do I feel watched by?
- What am I refusing to see?
