[1]Those that are literally blind cannot see the world around them. They can only perceive images with their mind’s eye. When the dream is about being blind, the message is of a psychological and spiritual nature. Blindness in a dream suggests that the dreamer may be unwilling to see some aspect of his life. There may be a blind spot in the mind, heart and/or soul.
The dreamer is threatened by the unconscious material being processed by the dream, and he cannot bring it to his conscious attention.
The good news is that dreams are cyclical in nature.
A message that cannot get through at the current time will repeat itself at a future date.
The very central point of dreams is to make us aware of all aspects of ourselves and our lives. Enlightenment and integration of unconscious and conscious components take time and desire. What you cannot see in a dream currently will become visible when you are more able to effectively cope with the message. This definition also applies to darkness and sleep as dream symbols.
[2]Vision: Dreaming about being blind: start opening your eyes; you are turning a blind eye to a certain matter! With eyes closed you are running headlong into danger. Leading a blind person: a task you have taken on is impossible to complete. Meeting a blind beggar could possibly indicate a win in the lottery.
Depth Psychology: This dream is usually a warning: stop going through life with your “eyes closed.” It is also a challenge to stop turning a “blind eye” to the opportunities and dangers of everyday life—open your eyes to reality.
