l am not the Dream Detective. But my mother taught me how to interpret dreams when l was a little girl. l might need to preface any response to dream questions l post with the opinion that l can't accurately provide interpretations without first knowing a little about the person and what they're going through. l may need to copy and paste this very thing on all of my thoughts regarding dreams, but l'll go ahead and give you what first pops into my head here.

l think you probably nailed the dead birds thing - you know yourself better than anyone else, and while interpreting our own dreams can sometimes lead to our going with wishful thinking instead of what really is (this is why l usually bring my own dreams to my mother), sometimes we know precisely what our dreams are trying to tell us.

The blind thing: something is definitely amiss.
l don't think this has anything to do with your actual vision versus either (a) feeling like there's something you're missing with a particular person or event in your life right now (something that is probably pretty big, if it's affecting all of your dreams), or (b) ignoring something with yourself, as in YOU, your health, your intuition, your intellect, your personality, something directly related to you, Geni, not anyone else.

lf it is (a), then you should be thinking about ANY red flags that have been popping up regarding a person or situation in your life. Someone you're bending over backwards for that is taking far more than giving, a situation in which you're allowing yourself to be exploited or used, or honestly, just about anything that is going to end badly if you don't wake up to the telltale signs and do something about it.

lf it is (b), ask yourself what has changed in you recently. Less patient? Bitter? Cranky? Whatever it is, it's something that is not typical of you, and you aren't digging it, but maybe you don't know where it's coming from either. You mention insecurity about your vision, and that may be a clue; maybe you're not feeling as intuitive as you're used to being, and it's affecting everything around you (which is okay - intuition is a fluid thing, and doesn't necessarily reflect anything unusually negative). Maybe it's not intuition per se, but observation - if there are distractions in your life that are pulling you away from an objective perspective, it's time to find focus.

And here's what l mean about needing to know a person and what's going on with them in order to correctly interpret a dream: l could go on for DAYS about what this one pre-Lasik dream *could* mean, but it's easier to nail it down with some better details. lf any of this hits home and you feel comfortable sharing some detail, it would help.
