Dreaming of the sun
Meaning and interpretation
What does dreaming of the sun mean?
Dreaming of the sun is often a pleasant dream, tied to energy, clarity and joy. The sun lights and warms: it tends to come with periods of confidence, success or hope. A scorching sun, or one that disappears or goes out, may instead reflect exhaustion or fear of losing what keeps you going.
What it's often linked to
Energy. Vitality, drive, the urge to act.
Clarity. Seeing things as they are, finally understanding.
Success. Being in the spotlight, recognized, in your place.
Depending on what happens in the dream
A sunrise
A fresh start, hope rising.
A sunset
The end of a period, often felt gently.
A scorching sun
Too much pressure, or overexposure.
An eclipse
A time when your light is temporarily hidden.
The sun disappearing
Fear of losing hope or energy.
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 gives you energy right now?
- 2
Do you feel in the light, or in the shade?
- 3
Was the sun rising, or setting?
A dream predicts nothing and diagnoses nothing. If a distressing dream keeps coming back and weighs on your days, talk to a health professional.
