Hey Everyone,

I've always had very vivid dreams that I could usually interpret pretty easily, but this one has me stumped and a little weirded out, to say the least. Something must be rattling around in my head because the night before I had this dream I woke up very early on in my sleep, which is very unusual for me, and was wide awake for a while.

So, on to the dream: I dreamed that my right eye fell out of my head - no ocular 'strings' attaching it...just fell out into my hand. And when I saw it, there were several bizarre and distinct characteristics. First off, it wasn't ball shaped, it was more like an oval disc. Second, it looked like one of those Turkish blue eyes that you get in Greece and Turkey to ward off evil, but it was definitely MY eye. Third (and this is the real fun part): it was hairy! It had my hair actually growing from it all over (except right on the iris & pupil), and I kept trying to wipe the hair away.

I kept trying to get someone to help me put it back in my head, but they didn't know how and I was afraid it was going to dry up before I got it back in. Showed it to my mother and she basically said 'oh dear', and that was about it (yayy mom, thanks for the help).

I'm sure there's some stuff about the eye being representative of 'I', since it had my hair growing on it, but that's as far as I can get with this crazy dream. Amy I maybe being too harsh in how I view myself (i.e. giving myself the 'hairy eyeball', so to speak), or is that just too easy? Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I think you must be pretty stressed for a week or so to have such a dream. Most weird dreams can be attributed to stress. Once I dreamed of my left eye ball having bugs coming out it out of the scan my ophthalmologist actually took that day. I was thinking about a dream I had as a child about green bugs coming out of our then-new home.

Hello Islandgirl: I noticed this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral! I hope you find PC to be of benefit.

I don't know anything about dream interpretation myself. However here are links to some articles, from PsychCentral's archives, that may be of some interest on the subject of dream interpretation:

Thanks, TLC. I'm sure you're right about the stress... new job, impending divorce court date looming and all. Love the House pic, BTW.

[Eyes of Blue]

The eye can represent your sense of Self but when dealing with the eyeball, the "role of the eye" is moreindicated, The eye's role is to let you see, understand and mainly believe. Aright eye falling out would imply a failing in the rightness (correctness) ofwhat you believe or believe in. By falling into your hand, the failing here canrelate to the acts of the hand, that is, to things you do. Note how the TrueSelf is very aware that there are no ocular 'strings' attached to the eye orbelief you have, implying that the conditions that are normally attached to aparticular belief seem absent here.

Seeing your eye as a disc similar to thoseobtained in Greece or Turkey to wardoff evil, strongly suggests that the belief in question here is a belief in theuse of 'charms' to ward off evil. While this eye is very blue, implying it hasstrong spiritual approval, this eye has the form of an oval disk. The disk is aflat, 2-dimentiona form. The belief in being able to ward off evil throughcharms etc. does not fill God's dimensions (as God's Nature is 3 dimensional).

A lot of hair is usually interpreted asgiving a scary impression - especially where it is not supposed to be as on aneyeball. A lot of hair has a strong association with animals. Thus a hairyeyeball indicates a belief is that is emotional rather than logical and a veryscary belief. The True Self would like to eliminate this association. (wipe thehair away) Your inherited belief system (represented by mother) seems of no helpat all where this scary belief is concerned. At least mother is not horrifiedabout losing this belief and neither makes any effort to restore it. [Note thatif you are a Christian, one of the conditions of this faith is that a person mustgive up all reliance on charms etc. which attribute their power to gods otherthan the Lord.]

This hits the nail on the head. You are spot on.
