For some, dreams are "tricks" of the human subconscious, and someone believes that they are given to people to predict future events that can either be changed or prevented. To do this, it is enough to correctly decipher the meaning of the dream, which is often not at all easy. There are too many symbols in human night visions: in different cultures, these signs can carry a completely opposite message. For example, when the moon is dreaming, Vanga's dream book gives one interpretation of this vision, while among the peoples of North America or Africa, the image of the night star has a completely different meaning.
Mythology of peoples
The oldest mention of the Moon as a luminary is found in the "Epic of Gilgamesh", written by the Sumerians in cuneiform many centuries ago. A bright cosmic body in those distant times was for many peoples of the world not only a time meter, but also a Goddess, giving people light in the dark. The lunar cult from antiquity has remained in many modern religions. For example, it is by the earthly satellite that the time of Christian Easter is determined. by different namesthe peoples of antiquity called the moon goddess: among the Greeks it was Selena, among the Babylonians - Astarte, among the ancient Romans - Diana.
It was believed that it was the Moon that patronizes animals and is responsible for fertility, separating light from darkness. Perhaps that is why this symbol interprets the dream book differently. Why is the moon dreaming? In some oracles, it is associated with dark forces and sorcerers, in others it is responsible for fertility, personifies pregnancy or abundance. Dreams are so symbolic that when explaining each, one should look for hidden meaning even in the smallest detail. So, the interpretation can vary significantly depending on the components of the vision: where was the light in the dream, what color and size was it, what did it illuminate, and so on.
When looking for the solution to a dream, remember that everything looks different in the moonlight, so the meanings can be ambiguous. The influence of the Moon on the Earth is undeniable, therefore, it should be taken into account that it is the subconscious that affects the content of sleep. It is worth contacting him first of all for the answer, and then to the dream books.
Meaning of big and full moon
Different nations have their own legends associated with the full moon. In some of them, a person is transformed into a werewolf: a wolf, bear, fox, lynx or other predator. Many calendars at different times and in completely different countries in the cultural and geographical aspect were or remain associated with the phases of the moon. From the point of view of the interpreters of dreams, each lunar phase means something. If we turn to the classics, thenthe book of the psychologist Miller called "Dream Interpretation" enjoys the greatest authority. The full moon in him is interconnected with success both in love and in finance. This is most likely due to the fact that the completed form of the satellite on the full moon in the subconscious mind is associated with replenishment. Therefore, such an allegory has spread to the money and love spheres.
If we compare another dream book, the full moon in it means the arrival of dark forces on Earth. So, first of all, Nostradamus and Vanga believed. Their interpretation is rooted in the belief that the full moon provokes the appearance of a person's worst sides. After all, in ancient times they believed: when the light in the sky is round, like a ball, you can turn into a werewolf. Ancient cults based on the full moon and human sacrifice, with the advent of Christianity, were transformed into the occult and Satanism. These beliefs may be in the subconscious of people whose past incarnations took part in such rituals. Parapsychologists explain it this way, so when the moon is dreaming, the dream book can give information that the subconscious mind cannot explain.
You should listen to the sensations that appeared during sleep. If you liked what you saw, then you can expect a turn of events for the better and not pick up a dream book. The moon is large, causing fear or anxiety, requires an explanation. First of all, think about what events or people cause you similar feelings. Compare the information received with that given by the interpreters.
Two moons
Peoplethose who poorly understand the nature of the occurrence of dreams, the events that occurred during a dream on a moonlit night can cause anxiety, even if nothing terrible was dreamed of. This is due to a subconscious fear of the dark or to children's "horror stories" with which parents scare their kids who do not want to go to bed. But if something extraordinary is dreamed of, which cannot be in reality, what was not “frightened” in childhood, only a dream book can give an answer. Two moons in the sky belong to this category of dreams. Although such a vision is explained in different ways, the interpreters agree on one thing - the imagined picture speaks of duality.
Most often, several moons seen in a dream mean the number of targets, and the subconscious, as it were, warns: chasing two hares, you can not catch a single one. As the dream book explains, an unmarried girl dreams of a double moon as a warning: a young lady can lose her love due to greed or prudence.
For a merchant, a dream with two moons speaks of the duality of the upcoming deal and that it may have a dubious secret side. For example, for the Italian psychologist Antonio Meneghetti, who compiled a modern dream book, the moon is a negative image of the past, preventing a person from developing and creating his future. For practitioners, the patient's vision of a double moon can symbolize the duality of not only his consciousness, but also his personality. Thus, all interpreters agree that 2 moons is a warning dream that you should definitely listen to.
The waxing and waning moon
In many world cultures and religions of antiquity, the state of the luminary in the sky played an important role. On the growing moon it was possible to sow and harvest, while the waning celestial body was associated with losses and losses. Even in our time there is a lunar calendar for gardeners, and also for cutting hair. Focusing on the shape of the luminary, it is also recommended to act for those who wish to increase their income or get a more profitable position.
Even in ancient times, shamans and priests noted what changes in society as a whole or in specific people were caused by the phases of the moon. These observations did not go unnoticed by fortunetellers and interpreters of dreams. For example, as the English dream book explains, the moon growing in a dream favors businessmen, lovers and grain growers. She portends a profit, a big harvest or a new feeling.
In Miller's dream book, a new or growing moon means either an increase in we alth or a profitable new business. When a waning celestial body is dreaming, the dream book recommends not starting new things, but letting the old ones take their course. Sometimes such a moon warns of a possible threat of robbery, and for the sick portends a deterioration in he alth or even death. For married women, if they dream of a waning moon, the dream book warns of a possible betrayal of her husband or an upcoming divorce.
Psychologists recommend taking dreams about a waning star seriously, since the subconscious mind, taking care of its owner, often sends a warning about imminent danger in this way orruin. Thus, from antiquity to the present day, the relationship between human behavior and lunar phases has been preserved not only in dreams, but also in reality.
Moon and sun in a dream
This happens in real life too. The simultaneous presence of the Moon and the Sun in the sky can often be observed during the full moon, since it is during this period that the rising of one luminary coincides with the setting of another. This natural phenomenon is not something exceptional in reality. But the dream book interprets it in a special way. The moon and the sun, simultaneously seen in a dream, have a huge impact on a person's real life. For example, for lonely hearts, such dreams portend a meeting with their other half.
In many world cultures there was a division between the cult of the Sun and the Moon. The daylight personified male power, fertilization and rebirth of all things under its rays. For example, for the Egyptians, the Sun meant life and light. According to them, it divided the year into 4 seasons and 12 months. Philosophy was built on the unity of three worlds: spiritual, generating causes (the Sun); material, knowing the consequences (Moon); intellectual, giving the mind meditation and reflection (stars).
That is why many dream interpreters and psychologists interpret dreams in which the sun is in the sky at the same time as the moon, as harmony or disharmony in the mind. As the dream book explains, the moon is big, and the sun is small in a dream, indicating that the sleeper has dark aspirations that can harm himor his loved ones. When both luminaries are equal in size and radiance, this means a harmonious life or a solution in reality to all existing problems.
Flawed Moon
This is another famous lunar phase. The defective moon is popularly called the night luminary, which is waning. According to ancient belief, the cosmic body has 2 stages:
- The first two weeks - the so-called aging of the moon. During this period, it is recommended to finish what you started and not start new things, as a person's energy is declining.
- Second stage. It is given to people to comprehend the events that exist in their lives and search for what can radically change it for the better.
Since the period from the full moon to the complete disappearance of the moon in the energy and emotional field of a person, dramatic changes take place, this could not but affect dreams. Even in ancient times, people noticed that all the plans started during the period of the flawed Moon were either not implemented, or were not implemented at all the way they wanted. When a child was born during this period, parents gave him a name that personified strength, success or victory in order to compensate for the weak energy of the newborn with his powerful waves.
And what does the dream book tell us? The moon in the sky, waning in a dream, shows the state of affairs or the he alth of the sleeping person. The subconscious seems to be telling its owner that you should save energy, not spend it on unnecessary people or start new relationships or business. Thus, it protects a person from a breakdown.
Another process, onwhich the dream book draws attention to - the huge Moon in a dream begins to decrease rapidly. The subconscious mind indicates that big plans may not come true, as past deeds or unfinished business do not let a person go. After such a dream, you should carefully review the list of your past actions and rethink your relationship with people around you.
Lunar eclipse
For people of antiquity, it had the same mystical meaning as the sun. Not without reason, a child born during this natural phenomenon was considered the chosen one. People believed that an extraordinary fate awaited him. In many ancient religions, the eclipse of the moon was associated with the struggle of the heavenly light of love with the insidious demons of the Night.
If during the eclipse the luminary was blood-red, then the priests believed that there would be a battle or in some other way human blood would be shed en masse. As the dream book usually explains, the moon and the sun, dreamed in a state of eclipse, speak of a difficult period in a person's life. Perhaps you should stop and think about your purpose, sort yourself out.
In the hours of a lunar eclipse, as people once believed, even terrible werewolves lose their power as much as they gain it during a full moon. According to many psychologists, a dream about a lunar eclipse indicates a person's need for spiritual purification and transformation of consciousness.
Another variation of such a dream, which is interpreted by the dream book, is that the moon is full, the big one suddenly darkens, and then clears again. He says that a transformation is already underway in a person,which can lead to enlightenment. If the luminary remains black, then the person can be swallowed up by darkness. Modern psychology perceives dreams about a lunar eclipse as a borderline state of consciousness, which does not at all contradict the belief of ancient people in a bad omen during these phenomena.
Fire Moon
The cult of fire in almost all world cultures was equated with the hypostasis of God on earth. The flame warmed in the cold season, fed and helped to protect themselves from wild animals. But it also killed, left without shelter and supplies. Fire was a symbol of purification, which in ancient cultures was associated with the Phoenix bird, and during the Middle Ages, with the liberation of the soul in the flame of a fire. Fire was considered an intermediary between gods and people, so any manifestation of it in a human dream is of great semantic significance. For example, if you dream of a fiery moon, the dream book can interpret this as the rebirth of one of the spheres in a person’s life or his complete transformation.
The fiery color of the moon according to Miller warns the sleeper about losing money. In Vanga's interpretations, such a dream portends an ecological catastrophe in which many living things on the planet will die. Sometimes in a dream, the moon, enveloped in fire or having the color of a flame, becomes an omen of the death of a loved one from an accident. In some cultures, such a dream was perceived as a sign of purification and rebirth, when everything bad or unnecessary was gone, letting changes into life. Psychologists recommend that after such a “bright” dream, listen to the sensations: whether the vision was ominous or breathtakingly beautiful. Basedemotional perception of sleep, its meaning can be explained.
Bright moon
Such dreams also often visit a person. As the dream book usually interprets, the bright moon in a dream means qualitative changes in life. This is due to the fact that even in ancient times, during the bright radiance of the luminary, people felt a surge of strength on the physical level and faith in the realization of dreams on the spiritual level. If such a moon illuminates the road in a dream and it is possible to walk along it, then a person will reach new heights in business, career or love easily, without encountering obstacles on the way.
The priests believed that on the days of the full moon the luminary was freed from the "guardianship" of the Sun, so on these nights they called on the ancestors. They believed: the bright Moon, like a beacon, illuminates the way for souls to earth. Often the interpretation of a dream suggests that one should honor the memory of deceased relatives by going to a church or a cemetery.
If you see a reflection of a bright moon in a dream, then this dream is given by the subconscious so that a person pays attention to his spiritual growth and emotional state. If the reflection of the moon is clear, then everything is in order, when it is blurry and unclear, it is better to find out the cause of your mental discomfort.
Often interpreters associate the bright moon in a dream with the feminine. If a pregnant lady dreams of her, then we can expect a beautiful girl to be born. For a man, such a dream speaks of the beauty's love for him. If the moon is bright and outshines the stars in a dream, this means that love for a woman will completely take over his mind.
Falling Moon
Any dreams of destruction or cataclysms warn that soontime of a person waiting for global changes in life. So big that not only will the place of residence or work change, but habits and lifestyles will completely change. When you dream that the moon exploded and falls to the ground, you should remember how the night vision ends. In any terrible or tragic dream, an important part of it is the end of the disaster, not its course.
The dramatic interpretation of the dream about the destruction of the moon on a subconscious level is connected with the ancient belief that evil can devour the night luminary and total darkness will come, during which people will be tortured by demons before sunrise. Psychologists believe that the cause of such dreams may be anxiety about life changes for the worse. For example, when a person is worried about the upcoming layoffs at work, knowing that he is completely dependent on the salary that he receives.
After such a dream, a few things should be clarified. First, what exactly causes subconscious fear. Secondly, you need to figure out on a conscious level what a terrible thing will happen if this anxiety becomes a reality. Thirdly, think about how life will change after the disaster. The answers to these questions are in the subconscious, and the dream was given in order for a person to finally ask himself.
After the content of the dream about the moon is verified with the dream book, you should turn to the best specialist in dreams - your subconscious. Since it sends them to its master, it means it knows what they mean.
