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.
Mirror
Mirrors in dreams force confrontation with self-image and identity. What you see in the mirror reveals how you perceive yourself. A distorted reflection suggests distorted self-image.
