Deaf

The ability to hear is part of our navigation system.

The ears keep us balanced and upright and orient us to the space around us. To lose this sense interrupts your ability to receive guidance from your environment.

If deafness is featured in your dream, you may want to consider how well you are listening to whatever direction you are getting in your life at this time.

(See Disability.)

Dreams of being deaf symbolize that you may be turning a deaf ear to criticism or unwarranted opinions about your life choices. Perhaps you are blocking out constructive feedback that could steer you off your authentic path, or that could actually help you. Your subconscious mind may be telling you that you are being stubborn, rigid and that you need to develop some listening skills.

To dream that you are deaf, indicates that you are feeling secluded from the world. You may be closing yourself off from new experiences or shutting yourself out.

If someone else in your dream is deaf, this suggests that someone close to you is withdrawn and not sharing their emotions.
