General meaning
A window in a dream is your view of the world and the possibilities it offers. It stands on the boundary between the protected inner space and the open outer world. What you see beyond the window is a projection of your expectations, hopes, or fears about the future.
Psychologically the window is a symbol of observation without participation. If in the dream you spend a long time looking out of the window without daring to go out — the subconscious is pointing to passivity or a fear of entering active life. If you easily open the window or step through it — readiness for change and action.
The state of the glass is a metaphor for clarity of perception. Clear glass — you see the situation objectively. Dirty or fogged — something is preventing you from seeing the real state of affairs.

What to keep in mind
The view beyond the window is the most important detail. Forest — intuition and the nature of things. Sea — emotional life and the subconscious. City — social life and career. Mountains — ambitions and obstacles. Darkness — the unknown. Each landscape beyond the window points to a specific sphere of life about which your dream is communicating.
