Darkness

The unlit part of life

What it often means

Darkness in dreams is not always danger — it is often the part of life you have not yet held a lantern to. The dream is teaching your eyes to adjust.

When it tends to appear

  • When you are in the unknown phase of a transition
  • When something has been hidden from yourself
  • When trust is being asked of you without proof

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    What part of your life feels unlit right now?

  2. 2

    What might gently hold a lantern there?

  3. 3

    What do you sense is in the dark that you cannot yet see?
