Dreaming of the moon
Meaning and interpretation
What does dreaming of the moon mean?
Dreaming of the moon often points to intuition, cycles and what happens at night: emotions, dreams, your inner world. A bright full moon tends to suggest clarity and fulfillment; a hidden or red moon, mystery, worry, or a part of you still in the shadows.
What it's often linked to
Intuition. What you sense more than what you know.
Cycles. Life's phases, what waxes and wanes, what returns.
The feminine. In many traditions the moon is linked to the feminine and to gentleness.
Depending on what happens in the dream
A full moon
Fulfillment, clarity, an emotion at its peak.
A crescent moon
A beginning, a project growing gently.
A red or strange moon
Worry, a sense that something isn't right.
Two moons
Duality, a choice, or a classic sign that you're dreaming.
Going to the moon
Huge ambition, or a need to get away from everything.
Questions to ask yourself when you wake up
A dream's meaning lives in your own context, not in a dictionary. These three questions get you there faster.
- 1
What is your intuition telling you right now?
- 2
Which phase of life do you feel you're in: beginning, peak, decline?
- 3
Did the moon look normal, or strange?
A dream predicts nothing and diagnoses nothing. If a distressing dream keeps coming back and weighs on your days, talk to a health professional.
