Entity psychology — eye

Embodied self — eye as body part maps directly to agency, health, or identity anxiety. Visibility — Wound or change on eye is seen by others or hidden under clothes. Function fear — What eye does waking (speak, walk, see) informs the dream read. Aging or loss — Decay, removal, or damage to eye often tracks mortality anxiety fairly. Boundary — Skin, edge, or joint imagery on eye marks where self meets world. Care access — Can you treat, cover, or ignore eye in the dream—agency check.

Attribute psychology — lost

Absent not ended — Missing, not confirmed gone. Search panic — Active looking. Misplacement — Your fault vs theft. Reunion hope — May return. Void where it was — Identity hole.

Entity × attribute synthesis

lost eye ≠ eye. Eye carries witness and judgment; lost adds misplaced but may return. The read stays on eye psychology—not a swap-in template. Category body tilts relational vs public vs embodied weight.
