A dream I have had quite often

Blind Dream Meaning Psychological Meaning:
If you dream of being blind this may represent your refusal to see the truth. Perhaps you reject something about yourself or your situation. Do you feel that you have lost your sense of direction in waking life? Or are you so bigoted in your opinions that you refuse to see any other point of view except your own? Perhaps your religious experiences are one of 'blind faith' rather than tolerance and spiritual inquiry? Truth frees us from the painful bondage of ignorance. Open your eyes!

Blind Dream Meaning Mystical Meaning:
In mythology Wotan sacrificed an eye in order to get the runes. Similarly the visionary Tiresias in Ancient Greece was blind. Blindness as a mystical dream symbol represents swapping outer vision for inner vision. The dream may therefore represents wisdom and self-knowledge

A poem I came across recently that I love. (Seems to have the same vibe as the song "Every Breath You Take")

'In The Arc Of Your Mallet'
(By Rumi)

Don't go anywhere without me.
Let nothing happen in the sky apart from me,
or on the ground, in this world or that world,
without my being in its happening.
Vision, see nothing I don't see.
Language, say nothing.
The way the night knows itself with the moon,
be that with me. Be the rose
nearest to the thorn that I am.

I want to feel myself in you when you taste food,
in the arc of your mallet when you work,
when you visit friends, when you go
up on the roof by yourself at night.

There's nothing worse than to walk out along the street
without you. I don't know where I'm going.
You're the road, and the knower of roads,
more than maps, more than love.
