There is a deep analogy with whatever happened to Dylan in '66, and he tried to describe it in a 2012 Rolling Stone interview - how the old Dylan is now dead and gone or al least totally lost (September 2012):

Has anyone got his very first vinyl album cover, just bob Dylan (1962)?? Eg, www.searchingforagem.com/1960s/International001.htm If you have, gaze at it and tell me, HAS HE GOT BROWN EYES? Yes of course he has!
OK, now what album cover is this? Can you find any trace of it on the web? Does he CLEARLY have brown eyes on this album cover?
Later on, Bobby Dylan acquires laughably blue eyes. (Search, Dylan blue eyes) Well hullo, Baby Blue, who are you and where did you come from? 'I came in from the wilderness, a creature void of form.' Uh-huh.
'You’re asking questions to a person who’s long dead. You’re asking them to a person who doesn’t exist. But people make that mistake about me all the time.’ Dylan then alluded to a book entitled, 'No Man knows my History' and averred, ‘The title could refer to me.’ He had become who he was, out of the dead or vanished person, by transfiguration. ‘You can learn about it in some old mystical books, but it’s a real concept,’ he said, This wasn’t transmigration, he said: ‘Its not anything to do with the past or the future.’
‘I couldn’t go back and find Bobby in a million years, neither could you or anybody else on the face of the earth. He’s gone. If I could, I would go back. I’d like to go back. At this point in time, I would love to go back and find him, put out my hand. And tell him he’s got a friend. But I can’t. He’s gone. He doesn’t exist.’
The baffled interviewer asked, ‘I’m trying to determine whom you’ve been transfigured from?’
Later in the interview, the subject of the 1966 big change in his life arose: ‘With John Wesley Harding and Nashville Skyline’, the interviewer asked, ‘some were bewildered by your transformation. You came back from that hiatus looking different, sounding different, in voice, music and words.’ Dylan then grew quite angry – for the only time in the interview – as if maybe his privacy were being invaded and he accused those who had sought to interpret that event, or to conjecture about it: ‘They want to know what can’t be known. They are searching – they are seekers… Why are they doing this?’ One feels here that Dylan himself may not be too sure what happened then.

Before 1964, Bob Dylan did not wear sunglasses in any pictures. ..
A set of pictures that were captured during Bob’s 1962 debut album cover shoot clearly show him with brown eyes. In 1965 and 1966, hundreds of photographs were taken of Bob Dylan. He is wearing sunglasses in almost every image.
From 1964-1966, Bob Dylan can be seen with blue eyes in a number of photographs.
By 1968, some shots of Dylan exist, but he looks quite a bit different. For the most part, during this time of his life, Bob Dylan doesn’t wear glasses, but his brown eyes are back. Since the early 1970s, Bob Dylan has been photographed with blue eyes.
