unawareness
'Eyes closed' in a dream represent unawareness. The eyes are the instruments of perception. When they are closed, you cannot see. In the Universal Language of the Mind, having your eyes closed reflects a state of not perceiving -- not seeing what is happening around you or within you. There is something in your waking life that you are not aware of. This could be a willful closing of the eyes -- choosing not to see something that is uncomfortable or inconvenient. Or it could be an unconscious closing -- you simply have not yet developed the awareness to perceive what is there. Either way, the message is the same: there is something you need to open your eyes to. When eyes closed shows up in your dream, it is an urgent call to increase your awareness. What are you not seeing? What truth are you avoiding? Open your inner eyes through honest self-reflection, through your daily concentration practice, and through the diligent interpretation of your dreams. Your subconscious mind is showing you that there is something in your blind spot. The sooner you open your eyes to it, the sooner you can address it and grow from it.
