Closed shutters
Wooden shutters drawn across a window from outside — a definite, structural shutting of the house against what is out there.
Closed shutters in a dream is the dream's image of a definite, structural closing of the house against what is outside. The shutters are not a curtain; they are wood, they are fastened from outside, and they say more clearly than glass that the house is not currently receiving. The dream brings closed shutters when something in your life — a household withdrawing into mourning, a person not taking visitors, a country's border closed for a season — is in a deliberate state of being unavailable. Shutters drawn from the inside before sleep is the dream affirming the proper night closure. Shutters closed in the middle of a sunny working day, with no one inside the house anymore, is the dream noting that the closure has outlasted any reason for it, and the house is being kept dark from a habit that no longer has a purpose.
