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.
Volcano
Volcanoes represent powerful emotions that have been building beneath the surface and may be ready to erupt. An erupting volcano suggests an emotional explosion — anger, passion, or creativity that can no longer be contained. A dormant volcano indicates suppressed potential or danger that is inactive but present. The destructive and creative aspects coexist: volcanic eruptions destroy but also create new land.
