Blind
Blindness in a dream rarely concerns the eyes — more often it marks not seeing what is there: a deception by a supposed friend, or a sudden reversal we did not see coming. The dream tends to ask where we have been unable, or unwilling, to see clearly, and what truth has been moving just beyond our sight.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for blind, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of being blind, denotes a sudden change from affluence to almost abject poverty.
To see others blind, denotes that some worthy person will call on you for aid.
Fontaine, 1862
(See Eye.) To dream of being blind shows that you are deceived in a supposed friend; this dream also threatens the dreamer with want of money; to a lover, it predicts that his sweetheart is untrue to him; this dream also foretells death.
