Dreaming of Illumination
illumination, festive lights, lights · mixed, often ominous
An illumination promises success and joy while it shines, but strange lights in the sky tend to warn of trouble and conflict.
What happens in the dream
- A fine illumination: success and happiness in life
- Glowing figures or animals that fall and are shot down: your drive will overcome many obstacles, the one truly hopeful reading
- Illuminated faces: unfinished business, private or professional
- Children in the lit-up sky: keep your feelings in check, as an outburst over feeling neglected by loved ones could do lasting harm
- The light begins to fade: sorrow and tears
- Strange, eerie lights: disappointments and setbacks on every side
- The sky ablaze, with a strange moon and a red or golden sun: serious hardship, bereavement, family or wider upheaval
- Glowing snakes or creeping things: enemies are scheming to bring you down
- A city lit up: conflict is brewing; your own house lit up: quarrels among relatives
How you felt
- Wonder mixed with unease: the dream may reflect a moment when everything seems possible but fragile
- A vague sense of foreboding: you may sense tensions building around you
Ask yourself
- What is dazzling me right now, and will it last?
- Is there tension in my family I'd rather not look at?
