Dreaming of darkness

Darkness is not knowing your next step, and traditionally it is read as a matter deliberately hidden from you. Elders counsel seeking counsel rather than moving quickly while it lasts.

Darkness in scripture is real but never final, always paired with light that overcomes it. Read as a hard stretch with an end rather than a permanent state.

Darkness is classically read as misguidance, confusion or ignorance, with light as the guidance sought against it. It calls for return to what is clear and certain.

Darkness signals the unknown and, frequently, low mood. Persistent dark dreams are worth noting alongside waking mood.

Dark, dim dreams are documented more often during depressive episodes and poor sleep quality, and brighten as both improve.
