Psychology

An eye falling out may reflect a wish to avert your gaze from reality, or fear that your way of seeing no longer works. An eye looking up at you urges self-reflection; putting it back shows determination to regain perspective.

Folklore and history

In Japanese myth, when Izanagi purified himself after the underworld, washing his left eye produced Amaterasu and his right eye Tsukuyomi. Eyes are tied to light and insight, and tales like the one-eyed Hitotsume-kozo abound.

Ruin exploration often means kneeling and crawling low over collapsed floors and debris — a companion to protective gear and goggles.

This site's view

In this site's view, ask whether you could still see. Blindness means you are refusing to look; seeing from the fallen eye urges you to view things from another angle, where the same scene looks different.

Going deeper: our reading

A Japanese proverb says the eyes speak as much as the mouth: they are tools for seeing, but also windows that reveal what we feel. Around the Mediterranean and in the Middle East, blue glass eye charms are still used to turn away an envious gaze. In this site's reading, people who dream of an eye falling out are often worn out from staring at screens and reading other people's moods. If you picked up the eye and tried to put it back, you are trying to recover a viewpoint you were losing. If someone picked it up for you, there is a person who sees what you miss. If the fallen eye stared back at you, you may fear others' eyes while watching yourself most harshly of all.

What to do on waking

Rest your eyes and look at distant scenery. See a doctor if you have eye pain or vision changes.
