Ear

Dreaming of ears suggests awareness of subtle information, rumours or intuition. Because we do not have to see what we can hear, the dream ear can depict information we have gathered without seeing it or being aware of it – in other words intuition. That is, impressions of things that are not obvious. This particularly refers to the ears of animals. See Intuition – Using It

Ears also refer to your ability to know what is going on around you out of sight, but particularly your skill in listening to what others are telling you. This might be literally about what they are saying in words, but also about what they suggest by who they are and how they are.

Ears can also suggest private things whispered to you, as in the example. But they can also be an erotic area when kissed or nibbled.

Example: James Mason and I are in the back seat of a car. I’m like Lolita. He’s very sexually attracted to me and tells me to change my clothes. He kisses me and pinches my left nipple. I’m sexually excited. I say, “But people can see.” An older woman is standing outside the car. He insists. I put on a pretty, brief pleated skirt with see-through lace seams and a turquoise velour top. He leans back in the car and says in a whisper in my ear, “Take off your panties.” I feel sexually excited. I do so. I get out of the car, noticing I can see flashes of my legs through the lace. He is possessive and demanding and I love it.

A dream might also at times indicate ear infection, as the following example.

Example: I continually have a dream that I have an earache. The pain in my dream is excruciating, then I wake up and there is no earache. Any ideas? Could I be grinding my teeth to cause this problem. S.

When questioned S said she did have a slight problem with a tooth at the back of her jaw on the same side as the dream toothache. Such tooth problems can lead to ear infections. So they are worth taking notice of, and one should check out ones health in the area.

Ear rings: They can often refer to the quality or otherwise of your hearing/intuition.

Example: In my dream I found a pair of earrings on the floor, found one first and then spotted the other.  I picked them up and had a good look at them.. they were shaped like strawberries and sparkled.. as if made of some kind of jewel.  I popped them into a box labelled “lost & found” up on a shelf knowing they would be claimed.

The dreamer gave an interpretation – My own thoughts on this is something I had lost, connected to my own inner hearing, that which enabled me to listen to my own intuition/Spirit. Berries being that they nourish ourselves from within so I have once again found something that will nourish my being on a deep level. DD

Idioms: An ear for; all ears; bend your ear; blow it out your ear; can’t believe my ears; cauliflower ear; coming out of our ears; cute as a bugs ear; ear candy; ear to the ground; pin back my ears; in one ear and out the other; play it by ear; reach one’s ears; flea/bug in the ear; gain the ear of; ears burning; long ears; lend an ear; music to my ears; having an earful; hear from; up to my ears; will not hear of; hearing things; silk purse out of sow’s ears; up to my ears; wet behind the ears.

Useful Questions and Hints:

If I am failing to hear something, what does the dream suggest it is about?

What am I hearing and what can I gather from that?

If I am picking up intuitions of things ‘out of sight’ what do they tall me?

I had a dream that someone came up to me and whispered that I had an ear infection. I don’t actually have one in my waking life. What could this mean? X

    Hayli – Dreams are well known for being able to diagnose illness long before any doctor can – or even you. Here is an example.

    Example: A man, Desmond, came in and sat on my right, a few chairs away. Almost immediately he stood up and came to me. He placed his right hand on my face, just in front of my right ear. As he did so I realised he was giving me healing for an ear condition I had not previously been aware of. He told me I had been eating too much. He also said the condition had arisen principally from an infected tooth.

    The dreamer later had an infected tooth remove from the right jaw, and the discomfort he began to feel in his ear disappeared. So have your ear or teeth checked.

    If not that, dreaming of ears can suggest awareness of subtle information, rumours or intuition. Because we do not have to see what we can hear, the dream ear can depict information we have gathered without seeing it or being aware of it – in other words intuition. That is, impressions of things that are not obvious. This particularly refers to the ears of animals. See https://dreamhawk.com/inner-life/using-your-intuition-1/

    Hearing and ears are about awareness, but of a kind that works without being able to see, so an extra sense in the dark places of life. So what are you muffling? All the images, people, animals, places we see in our dreams, are simply your own feelings, fears, hopes and wonder projected onto the screen of your sleeping mind as images. So, it makes sense to take the image of your dream person, thing or animal back into you and own it. In that way, you are meeting and dealing with the things about yourself you are not owning or conscious of. That is why dreams are often difficult to understand, because we are hiding things from ourselves. To do this you can use Being the Person or Thing
