Dream symbol · D
Darkness
An encounter with the unknown, the unconscious, or a period of introspection and searching.
Dream interpretation
Darkness in a dream often represents the Shadow—the parts of our personality we do not know or hide. If you are afraid in the dark, you likely feel lost in reality. However, if you feel calm, it is a sign of spiritual incubation and a need for silence. In mythology, the night is a time for magical transformation. Pay attention to small sources of light—they are your inner guides through difficult moments. Trust that the light will eventually return to your path.
