Darkness

Darkness is our first reality, the mysterious source from which we all emerge, like a seed in the dark earth or a baby in the womb. It symbolizes the deep, uncharted territory of the unconscious mind. While it can evoke feelings of fear, confusion, or being lost, it is not simply an empty void. Darkness can be a fertile, creative space where old forms dissolve to make way for new growth. It represents a necessary phase of withdrawal from the outer world to confront what is hidden within. This inner space holds not only our unacknowledged flaws and fears—our 'shadow'—but also our most profound potential, intuition, and inspiration. It is the quiet, waiting stillness before a new dawn or a breakthrough.

Dreaming of darkness often signifies that you are entering a period of significant inner change or confronting the unknown in your life. It can point to feelings of uncertainty, depression, or a sense that you are 'in the dark' about your path. However, this dream is also an invitation to turn inward. It suggests that a vital process of transformation is happening beneath the surface of your conscious awareness. Rather than fearing the darkness, the dream encourages you to be still, listen, and allow new insights or a new part of yourself to emerge from this mysterious, fertile void.
