Purple Eyes in dreams

Perception. How you see, and how you let yourself be seen.

Purple colour places the symbol between hot and cool — a reading that has both calm and intensity at once. The dream often uses purple for symbols that do not fit the usual categories cleanly. Take the reading more seriously than you would otherwise; the colour is asking you to.

Eyes in a dream point to perception. Closing your eyes when you should not be is the dream calling out an avoidance. Watching from a distance, unable to act, is the powerlessness that sometimes follows witnessing something you cannot intervene in.

A stranger's gaze that you cannot break is often the dream's image of feeling judged. Bright clear eyes — your own or another's — are a strong positive: clarity is available to you, you have only to use it.

Where you often see it. Your own eyes in a mirror. Eyes watching from a corner. Closed eyes that refuse to open. The dream uses the eyes for perception — how you see and how you let yourself be seen.

What it is not. Eye trouble in a dream is rarely an eye-doctor prediction. The reading is about what is being looked at, or away from.

Related in the dictionary. Read eyes with mirror, face, and any scene where seeing or being-seen is the structural question.
