These are interesting dream symbols that alter depending if the window is open or closed (see house). They bring our attention to perception, opportunities or ideas that are presented to you. Metaphors for our eyes are we see things presented to us either open or closed. Positive window dreams are opening, large windows, climbing out and looking out. However, if the window is shut blocked or can’t open suggests blocked or trapped perception.

Biblical

Symbolic of vision, insight, or a person's eyes, Eccl. 12:3

Jungian

Windows are associated with the ability to see clearly. If you are cleaning the window, you are increasing your awareness or ability to see something. If you are in a room without windows, the area of the psyche that the room represents is being shut off from everyday experiences. To open a window, you are opening to new ideas and perspectives. Covering windows with shutters blocks your ability to see clearly. A glass that breaks inside of a building personifies your desire to break through or not have unnatural barriers between you and what you want. See Houses and Buildings.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

In a dream, a large window represents a woman of good character and conduct, while a tight window means the opposite. If a man sees himself sitting inside a window in a dream, it means that he will divorce his wife in public. If one sees himself sitting at a distance from the window in a dream, it means that he will secretly divorce his wife. In a dream, the windows of a house also represent an outsider who is aware of the inner secrets of such a house. A window in a dream also means relief from difficulties, overcoming distress, renewing festivities and celebrating anniver¬ saries. Depending on their direction in the dream, windows also mean news, women, or children. Seeing the glass of one’s window tainted or colored means plantingseedlings, inflorescence, conceiving children, continuing one’s education, buying new clothes, or crowning someone. Sitting tied-up inside a window box in a dream means getting married.
