Dreaming of Blindfold
Messages
A blindfold in dreams is an instrument rather than a condition, and instruments are chosen, given, or imposed by someone. Seeing one can portray a device for not-knowing that exists in your life independently of whether you are currently wearing it. Holding one suggests you are deciding whether to use it. If you find one among your belongings, the psyche may be describing an avoidance you have kept available. Being offered one reveals an invitation to stop looking at something. Watching someone else be blindfolded portrays a not-seeing you are arranging for another person. Dreams of this kind concentrate when a person is deciding how much they want to know. Is there something you have deliberately arranged not to find out?
Given, Chosen, or Imposed
Every instrument arrives from somewhere, and dreams are specific about the source. Being handed one by someone you trust can portray a protection offered that limits you. If you tied it yourself, the psyche may be describing a comfort purchased with clarity. Being forced to wear one suggests information withheld against your will. If you cannot identify who provided it, examine an ignorance whose origin you have never traced. Refusing it portrays a decision to see whatever comes. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person is negotiating what they are told. Who decides what you get to know?
Ceremony, Trust, and Games
The object appears in rituals as often as in coercion, and dreams borrow both. Wearing one in a game can portray a vulnerability entered voluntarily and safely. If it is part of a trust exercise, the psyche may be describing a reliance you are testing. Being led somewhere pleasant suggests a surprise arranged with care. If the ceremony turns serious, examine when a game stopped being one. Removing it to find something good portrays trust that was rewarded. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person is being asked to trust without information. Who are you currently trusting to tell you when to look?
The Instrument Set Aside
What you do with the object matters as much as wearing it. Putting it away can portray a decision to stop protecting yourself from information. If you cannot throw it out, the psyche may be describing an avoidance you want available. Burning it suggests a definitive commitment to seeing. If you keep it in a drawer, examine what circumstances would make you reach for it again. Handing it to someone else portrays a not-knowing you are passing on. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person decides how much honesty they can sustain. What would you need to be able to face before you could destroy the option of not facing it?
Dreaming of Finding a Blindfold
Discovery concerns the recognition that an avoidance exists. Coming across one can portray an awareness that you have been arranging not to know something. If it is worn from use, the psyche may be describing a long habit. Finding it in a place you did not put it suggests an ignorance someone else arranged. If you do not recognize it, examine what you have been shielded from without your knowledge. Picking it up portrays a decision now available to you. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person realizes they have been kept in the dark. What did you find out recently that you were clearly meant not to know?
Dreaming of Putting on a Blindfold
Choosing to wear it concerns a deliberate refusal of information. Covering your own eyes can portray a decision that some things are better not known. If you feel relief, the psyche may be describing a peace that ignorance provides. Being unable to tie it suggests a not-knowing you cannot quite achieve. If someone helps you, examine who benefits from your not seeing. Doing it before something you cannot bear portrays a self-protection that may be wise. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person decides to stop investigating. What have you deliberately decided not to look into?
Dreaming of Removing a Blindfold
Removal concerns the moment you decide to know. Taking it off can portray a readiness that has finally arrived. If what you see is ordinary, the psyche may be dismantling a dread that had grown far past the facts. Seeing something worse than expected suggests information you were right to prepare for. If you cannot bring yourself to remove it, examine what you suspect. Removing someone else's portrays a decision to inform another person. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person is about to find something out. What are you about to let yourself know?
Dreaming of Blindfolding Someone Else
When you apply the instrument, the dream concerns information you are withholding. Covering another person's eyes can portray a truth you have decided they should not have. If you tell yourself it is for their protection, the psyche may be examining that justification. Being caught suggests an exposure of your management of someone's knowledge. If they remove it themselves, examine what happens when your protection fails. Choosing to tell them instead portrays a respect you have decided to extend. Dreams of this kind arrive when a person is keeping something from someone. Who are you protecting from information they may have a right to?
