A dream within a dream, or knowing that you are dreaming, is awareness awakening: lucidity, reflection on reality and on the self.
When the dream feels light
Becoming lucid speaks of spiritual awakening and the power to change your story.
When the dream feels dark
Not being able to wake up points to feeling trapped in a situation or in a role.
Ask yourself
In which part of my life am I asleep?

The card of this dream
The Moon. The night road of illusions, dreams and hidden fears. The Moon shines between two towers over a path that winds into the distance, while a dog and a wolf howl and a crayfish climbs from the water. It is illusion, dreams, intuition and fear: not everything is what it seems; walk carefully by the light you have.
