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.
Mother
Mother figures in dreams represent nurturing, unconditional love, protection, and the fundamental relationship template we carry through life. A positive mother dream may indicate self-care needs, while a threatening mother might represent smothering behavior or unresolved maternal issues.
