Window

Perspective, possibility; what you see but have not entered.

FolkJungian

The window is the view without the passage. Unlike the door, which invites you to enter, the window shows you what you have not yet committed to. Jungian analysis treats window-dreams as images of possibility held in sight. A window open to fresh air usually means a real change is available; a window sealed or barred, a view onto something you cannot yet have. Notice which room the window is in, and what you see. Often the window looks out on a landscape that is more striking than anything in the house itself — the dream’s way of asking: why are you still inside?
