Eyes
Eyes in dreams represent perception, understanding, and the ability to 'see' truth. Losing sight may indicate denial or unwillingness to see something. Extra eyes or enhanced vision can represent heightened awareness or psychic sensitivity. The 'third eye' in dreams connects to spiritual perception.
Intruder
An intruder in your home represents a violation of your personal boundaries — someone or something is invading your most private psychological space. The intruder can represent a repressed aspect of yourself demanding attention, an actual person whose presence feels invasive, or general anxiety about safety and vulnerability.
