Dreaming of the Moon

moon, crescent, full moon, moonlight · mixed, depending on how the moon looks

A clear moon promises success in love and business, but a strange, dim or red moon signals setbacks.

What happens in the dream

  • You see an ordinary moon in a calm sky: success in love and business
  • A full moon: a thrifty, happy marriage
  • The moon grows dim: you will let great happiness slip through lack of tact
  • A blood-red moon: war and strife, and a loved one going away
  • A new moon, or a crescent with its horns pointing up: wealth and a happy partnership; horns pointing down, poverty
  • A half moon: a bad sign for lovers, even the loss of a partner
  • The moon in eclipse: contagion in your community
  • An eerie, uncanny moon: thwarted romance, tension at home and disappointing business
  • You ask the moon about your fate: you will soon marry the one you choose; if you see two moons, you lose them through greed

How you felt

  • Reverie: the dream often reflects romantic wishes and secret hopes
  • A vague unease: it may show the future feels changeable and hard to read

Ask yourself

  • What am I hoping for without daring to say it?
  • What in my life is changing its face right now?
