Window Dream Interpretation

Dream Interpretation: Windows – Perception and Awareness

Windows in dreams often represent our perception and awareness, either of ourselves or others. They can symbolize our ‘view’ of the world and how we perceive life’s events, emotions, and situations. In the example given:

"I was looking at a little matchbox shaped thing and one looked into it like a window. I looked at my arm through the window, then my vision was full of patterns of my energy going up and down my arm. It was very beautiful, leaflike shapes with glass-like balls and clear liquid but even the liquid making patterns on the move up and down." (Wendy O)

Looking Out of a Window

This may reflect your ‘view’ or feelings about what you perceive in your environment or life, and it can also represent a desire to find a way out of a situation.

Looking Into a Window

This symbolizes what you feel or perceive when looking at someone else, or your self-awareness when ‘looking’ inward. It can also depict your awareness of your own feelings or thoughts.

Opening a Window

Opening a window in a dream can symbolize exposing your feelings or opinions to others, or letting others' influence affect you. It’s a sign of openness to external experiences or perspectives.

No Windows

Dreams of having no windows suggest a lack of awareness of what is happening around you. It can also symbolize introversion or being absorbed in internal thoughts, feelings, or concerns.

Height of the Windows

The height of the windows may indicate the level of your experience you are viewing the world through. For example, looking through a basement window might suggest that your perception is influenced by sexuality or unconscious feelings.

Domed or Roof Windows

Windows in a domed shape or in the roof often depict our mind or head. They may reflect our cosmic sense—a synthesis of our experiences and how we view life in its largest sense.

"Presently I come to another domed window and stand looking at sea and sky. I am filled with serenity and peace." (JD)

Dream Interpretation: Windows – A Jungian Perspective on Insight and Perception

For Jungians, windows offer a view of the outside world. To see windows in your dream signifies different points of view, perspectives, insights, and the eyes through which you perceive life.

Looking Through a Window

If you are looking through a window, this symbolizes your outlook on life, your consciousness, awareness, and intuition. Windows are made of glass, which can be clear or opaque, signifying either a clear perspective or a distorted one. Consider how this relates to your view of a situation in waking life. The word "pane" in window pane may even hint at pain, prompting you to reflect on whether you need more clarity regarding something troubling you.

Shut, Shattered, or Broken Windows

To dream of shut, shattered, or broken windows suggests a closed mind. This may indicate a refusal to accept new perspectives or ideas. On the other hand, opening a window represents a willingness to let in fresh ideas or experiences, breathing new life into a situation that may feel stagnant.

Looking In Through a Window

Looking in through a window can symbolize gaining insight or understanding something previously unknown. However, it may also suggest feelings of exclusion, as in the story of *The Little Match Girl*, where you may feel left out while others enjoy something denied to you.

Looking Out of a Window

Looking out of a window reflects your outlook on life and how you feel about your current situation. Windows are often called the 'windows of the soul,' representing your deeper perspective on life.

Freudian vs. Jungian Interpretation of Windows

For Freudians, a smashed window may represent female sexuality, while for Jungians, it symbolizes disillusionment with the world. In either case, it reflects a disturbance in how you perceive the external world.

Shuttered Windows or No Windows

If you dream of a house without windows or with obscured views, such as with drapes, this may indicate that you have a shuttered outlook on life. It suggests a preference for staying within your own world, avoiding a broader, more open-minded perspective.
