Window dream meaning - Window dreams, scene by scene

Traditionally, windows have often been interpreted as passages connecting us to the outside world, or as signs of communication and new opportunities opening up. Depending on the window’s condition and the emotions in the dream, they may also reflect feelings of being stifled, guarded, or open to change.
