What It Means to Dream About the Moon
Dreaming of the moon is read as a dream that represents quiet intuition, the rhythm of your emotions, and a sense of being watched over.
The Basic Meaning
In dream interpretation, the moon is a symbol of intuition and rhythm. The moon, which waxes and wanes over and over, is read as representing that emotions and luck, too, have waves. A full moon represents fullness and fulfillment, and a crescent moon or a moon close to a new moon represents a season of beginnings and preparation. Because moonlight is a gentle light that is not too strong, it can also represent a sense of being quietly watched over, and a heightening of feminine intuition.
What It Means in Different Situations
A Full Moon
This represents a season when things come to fullness. Something you have continued is likely to show one fruit or answer.
A Crescent Moon
This represents a wish that has only just begun. It is a sign that you are taking a small but certain step.
Being Lit by Moonlight
This represents a season when your intuition is sharp. In quiet time, you are likely to notice something important.
The Moon Hidden Behind Clouds
This is a state in which your feelings are temporarily clouded. Rather than forcing out an answer, a posture of waiting for the clouds to drift away suits this season.
A Large Moon Seen Up Close
This represents a season when your emotions are moving in a big way. It becomes an opportunity to look carefully again at the sense of distance between you and someone important.
Your State of Mind When You Have This Dream
This is a dream you are likely to have in a season when quiet nighttime senses matter more than daytime logic. It can also bring out a wish to recover your own rhythm.
How It Differs from Similar Dreams
Whereas a star dream represents "a distant goal and the twinkling of hope," a moon dream represents "the rhythm and waxing and waning of emotions close at hand." It is also in contrast with a sun dream, which represents outward energy.
The Flow of Your Luck, and Some Advice
Your luck is within a rhythm of waxing and waning. If you are now on your way to fullness, it is a season to nurture without rushing. If it is a waning season, letting go and tidying up suit you. A few minutes of looking up at the night sky will steady the rhythm of your heart.
