I had this really unsettling dream where something got stuck in my eye, and it was so itchy and irritated that I ended up scratching the eyeball out. Even though it was horrible, once it was out, I felt so much better. The weird part was that I was mostly worried about how to tell my mom I lost an eye.
I remember watching a podcast or show while this was going on, and the background was all red. One of the people on the podcast was talking about how sad it is when people get attacked and have their eye torn out, saying that they “can’t see anything lovely before they die.” They were talking about it like it’s a common way for high schoolers to attack each other. I remember holding my cold eye in my hand and looking at it.
The room felt really dark and bare, with just a flatscreen TV playing the show and almost no furniture. I was feeling really numb and calm about everything, except for worrying about how to explain to my mom that I lost an eye.
This dream seems to be tapping into some deep emotional layers. The eye is often symbolic of perception, insight, and how we see the world. Losing an eye in a dream, especially in such a disturbing way, could represent a fear of losing your clarity or ability to understand something important in your life. The fact that the dream made you feel better after the eye was removed suggests that, perhaps, you are trying to rid yourself of a situation or perspective that is causing you discomfort or emotional strain.
The concern about explaining this to your mom might reflect feelings of guilt or anxiety about how others perceive you, especially close family members. The calmness you felt despite the bizarre situation could indicate that you’ve grown numb to something emotionally challenging in your life—perhaps something you’ve been repressing or avoiding facing head-on.
The background being red and the podcast discussing violence and eyes being torn out might symbolize feelings of anger, violence, or emotional hurt that you’ve either witnessed or experienced recently. The lack of furniture in the room could signify a sense of emptiness or isolation, suggesting that while the situation feels unsettling, it might also be a way for your subconscious to signal that you’re feeling disconnected or alone in your struggles.
Overall, this dream could reflect feelings of vulnerability or loss, especially in terms of perception or emotional clarity. It might be an invitation to reflect on what you’re holding onto that could be draining you, and to consider whether letting go could bring some relief.
