The night is the realm of the unconscious, of rest and of mystery. What cannot be seen by day shows itself at night. It can be a shelter or a darkness that frightens.
When the dream feels light
A calm, starry night speaks of rest, secrets revealed gently and spiritual peace.
When the dream feels dark
A night with no end points to fear, a long period of uncertainty or grief.
Ask yourself
What can I see only in the dark?

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.
