Dreaming of the moon

Where the sun is the daylight self, the moon is everything it doesn't see: intuition, dream, the quiet inner tide. To dream of the moon is often to be reminded of a rhythm you've been ignoring — that you, too, wax and wane, and that not every dark phase is failure.

The moon gods measure time and watch over sleep and the dead. A moon in your dream may be asking you to trust what you feel but cannot yet prove, and to let a phase be a phase.

Dream meanings are reflective, not medical or predictive. If a dream troubles you often, be gentle with yourself — and talk to someone you trust.
