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.
Rainbow
Rainbows appear after storms and universally symbolize hope, promise, and beauty emerging from difficulty. A rainbow in a dream may indicate that a difficult period is ending and beauty is ahead. In Biblical tradition, the rainbow represents God's promise. In many cultures, the rainbow is a bridge between earth and heaven. The full spectrum of colors represents wholeness and the integration of all aspects of self.
