Window/window treatment Dream Meanings

Dreaming Lens: Were you inside or outside? Were you looking through the window? Was the window covered or decorated? Was it open, shut, or boarded up? Did you or someone fall through the window? Did you break it? Was there a view?

Personal Focus: Houses and buildings represent the Self and windows are the portals between the interior and exterior of any structure. They are the symbolic opening where the outside world gets a view of what’s going on under the surface of our behavior. Simultaneously, we privately peek out through the windows of our selves, penetrating our public personas with snippets of who we really are. There is a flow of information between your inner and outer experiences in life and it is through windows that this exchange occurs. The more exposed you feel by a window, the more vulnerable you are feeling around your current challenges. As such, window treatments reflect your desire to both obscure and control the information presented by you to the outside world.

The more covered the windows, such as with heavy drapes, shades, and so forth, the more you are trying to block the flow. The presence of window treatments that are open indicates a willingness to see, but with a sense of control that signals the view is temporary—take advantage of it while you can. A broken window reflects an even less blocked flow, but one that might feel dangerous, depending on the level of violence associated with the breakage. If you broke the window, then it is your need to be more authentic that may have sparked the breakthrough. If any outside force is responsible, you may be feeling pushed into confrontation by something in your life and, therefore, an expansion of authentic persona may be in process. Since the eyes are the windows to the soul, pay close attention to how open your dream windows are, for it is your soul’s light that wants to shine through them.
