Amaterasu

the sun drawn from the cave

fire

When the sun goddess hid in her cave, the world went dark until she was coaxed out; to dream of returning light is the promise that a long retreat is ending.

Fragments

She withdrew into the cave and took the daylight with her; only laughter and a mirror could tempt the sun back into the sky.

When you dream of a door opening onto light, it is Amaterasu stepping out — a long hiding coming to its end.
