What does an eyepatch mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation
Mary Leyen
Dream Expert,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about wearing an eyepatch suggests a refusal to acknowledge certain aspects of your life, symbolizing a blind spot in your awareness. But the meaning can vary.
It may also indicate a fear of showing your true self. Seeing someone else with an eyepatch, by contrast, could represent your perception of them hiding something from you or not being completely honest. It may also symbolize your concern about their lack of full understanding or awareness in a situation.
An eyepatch is a somewhat colorful and puzzling dream image to pin down. To really know for certain, I'd want to get more information about the dreamer's background and current life scenario.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of donning an eyepatch may signify a subconscious attempt to shield oneself from painful realities, a Freudian defense mechanism known as denial.
With that being said, an eyepatch can be more complicated than that. It's a symbolic representation of the ego's effort to protect the psyche from distressing truths. Conversely, observing another wearing an eyepatch in a dream could be a projection of your own insecurities or guilt. It may suggest that you attribute your own repressed traits or actions to others, a phenomenon Freud termed as projection. This dream could be an invitation to introspect and confront the aspects of self that you've been avoiding.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of wearing an eyepatch signifies a spiritual journey of self-discovery, where you are choosing to close off one aspect of your perception to better focus on your inner self. It's a call to introspection, urging you to look beyond the physical realm and delve into your spiritual essence. Seeing someone else with an eyepatch, however, suggests a spiritual disconnect. It may symbolize your intuitive sense that someone is not revealing their true spiritual nature or is unaware of their own spiritual potential. This dream is a spiritual prompt, urging you to help guide them towards their own path of self-discovery and spiritual awakening.
So which interpretation of the dream is best for you?

Only you can know for sure. Bear in mind that our higher mind can be a complex and multifaceted thing to understand. Just about any dream concept can represent many different things — or result from many different themes from our conscious lives.
