Dreaming Lens: Were you wearing glasses in your dream? Was someone else? Were they the right prescription? Had you lost your glasses? Were they broken? Were you avoiding wearing glasses? Were they sunglasses?
Personal Focus: Glasses improve a person’s vision by altering how light is received through the eyes. If a person wears glasses, the implication can be made that there is a flaw in the design of their eyes. The glasses themselves are the tool that corrects that flaw.
Human beings are very vision-oriented, as it is our primary navigational sense. Since glasses allow a person with visual limitations to function at a much higher level, the symbolic meaning connects to a person’s effectiveness at seeing where they are going in life. Without this ability, it would be impossible to manifest our intentions and desires.
Dreaming of glasses will require a very different interpretation for the person who actually wears them than for someone who does not. For those that do, the presence or absence of them in a dream may have a somewhat literal connotation. This is especially so if the dream is about being unable to locate the glasses, in which case, the dream can be interpreted as representing anxiety about being effective. For someone who does not require them, dreaming of wearing glasses could point to some need to increase the quality of one’s metaphorical vision in some area of life. The Dreaming Lens will help inform what that area might be.
If glasses are being worn by someone else in a dream, and they are somehow featured prominently or seem important, this will impact your interpretation of that Character Aspect. Whatever meaning you assign to the person must include the implied limitation of their vision that the glasses represent.
There is also the potential for people to feel less attractive with glasses and some will actually forego improved eyesight for the sake of vanity. If this theme appears in a dream that features glasses as a symbol, it may indicate some choice you are making in your life that is not serving you and is affecting your ability to see the issue clearly.
