Ears
Ears often touch listening and the unsettling sense of being overheard — a designing person watching your words for some advantage. The dream may ask who is paying too-close attention to what you say, where your own conversation might be turned against you, and how guarded you ought to be about what you let fall within earshot.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for ears, 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 seeing ears, an evil and designing person is keeping watch over your conversation to work you harm.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of boring many ears denotes obedience and readiness; to dream of cleansing them, good news; of having your ears boxed, ill news; of having large ears, prosperity and honor; of being hurt or slit, offence and treachery; of loss of ears, loss of friendship; of loss of hearing, betrayal of secrets; and to a woman, ruin.
