Window in a dream
In the folk reading, a window in a dream shows how you look at the future and which of your wishes are gazing outward.
Old dream books see the window as the eye of the house: through it you watch what is coming to meet you. An open window is read as readiness for something new, fresh air in work or in love, and one that is hard to open as a sign that you are still hesitating. What you saw through it matters too, since a pleasant view is taken as a good omen. Either way, this dream is believed to carry hope and an invitation to look a little beyond the everyday.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of a wide-open window
By tradition, an open window lets good fortune into the house. It is believed a fine opportunity is on its way, one you will recognize if you keep your eyes open.
Dreaming that you are looking out of a window
This is read as waiting, for someone or for something. If it was sunny outside, people say the waiting is drawing toward a happy end.
Dreaming of a broken window
Old folk read broken glass as a sudden change of plans that turns out useful in the end. It is also said that this is how an old worry leaves the house.
Dreaming that you are washing windows
Washing windows means you want to see some situation more clearly. In folk belief, you will soon learn the thing that has been nagging at you.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
