If you see ears in your dream, this suggests that you could be more responsive or receptive to guidance and assistance from others. Alternatively, it signifies your immaturity and lack of experience. Such dreams may be about the need for the dreamer to listen to their own true feelings and make a connection with their unconscious self. Dream ears may also reveal a concern on the part of the dreamer that someone close to them is not being totally straightforward.

If you have more than two ears in your dream, you may be feeling valued and respected. The size of ears in a dream can have important interpretative associations. Small ears could suggest that someone is not telling you the whole truth, whereas large ears can suggest the help and support of a colleague or friend. Ears being pulled in a dream can represent disagreements in waking life.

If there has been a dispute, perhaps the time is right to move forward with a sensible solution.

If you are cleaning wax out of your ears, perhaps you are not listening, or refusing to listen, to the opinions of others. Are you turning a deaf ear?

Dreamers Dictionary

Symbol: In antiquity the ear was thought to be the center of memory.

Vision: Seeing one or more ears: don’t listen to the gossip around you, you might find out that it’s about you. Looking at a donkey’s ears: beware, you are about to do something stupid. Your ears are clogged up or you are deaf: you misted someone and that trust has been abused. Cleaning your ears: your mistrust in a certain matter was completely justified. Someone pulling your ear is reminding you of a promise you made.

If you are pulling someone’s ear: a blunder someone else has made is causing sorrow and grief. Having your “ears boxed”: beware of false friends, they can hurt you; or have you—maybe—done something wrong? Boxing someone^ ears: keep your emotions under better control, so they don’t lead to conflicts.

Depth Psychology: Dreaming about ears means you are easily impressed by others. Do you love to eavesdrop? Do you “play deaf’ sometimes? Are you tired because someone is relentlessly “bending your ear”? Are you “lending an ear” to someone?

Islamic Dream Interpretation

by Ibn Seerin
(Awareness, Deafness, Hearing, Stability) One’s ear in a dream represents his hearing, the point of his awareness, his rank, child, property or his status.

The ear in a dream also represents knowledge, reason, religion, extent of one’s wealth, or pride about one’s lineage.

If one’s hearing becomes clearer or increases in sensibility, or ifhe sees light beaming from his ears or driving into them in a dream, this dream will represent his guidance, obedience to his Lord and consent to His command.

If he sees his ears looking smaller or producing an offensive odor in a dream, it means that he may go astray and indulge in actions that will incur God’s displeasure.

If one discovers that he has an extra ear in a dream, it means a permission is given to him to fulfill what he intends.

The number of ears one sees in a dream also represent the different arts and sciences, but they could also mean that the person in question has no stability. In a dream, one’s ear may represent the jewelry a woman attaches to herself as ornaments.

To clog one’s ears with one’s own fingers in a dream means death in a repugnant state of innovation. Plugging one’s own ears in a dream also means ignoring a repulsive thought. Plugging one’s ears in a dream also could mean becoming an advisor to someone or a caller to prayers in a mosque, i.e., a muezzin.

If one’s ears are transformed into an animal’s ears in a dream, it means losing respect or developing inertness or apathy. As one’s awareness, one’s ear in a dream represents a pouch, a wallet, a coffer or a safe. Ears in a dream are also interpreted to mean separation from one’s wife or daughter.
