Black Ears in dreams

Listening — what you have been letting in.

How black changes the reading

Black colour pulls the symbol toward the not-yet-known — depth, hiddenness, the part of the situation that has not yet come into the light. The dream is rarely warning you; it is showing you that there is more to the picture than the part you have been looking at.

The base reading of Ears

An ear in a dream is the dictionary's image of listening. Hearing clearly is the dream confirming that you have been receiving the situation accurately. Hearing muffled or distorted sound is the dictionary's image of something in your environment that you have been processing in a partial way.

Where you often see it. An ear listening at a door. Your own ear ringing in a quiet scene. Ears blocked or amplifying. The dream uses ears for listening — what you have been letting in.

What it is not. An ear is not always about literal hearing. The dictionary reads ear scenes as questions of attention.

Related in the dictionary. Read ear with mouth (the matched function), silence, and any scene where something said is being heard or unheard.
