Dream of seeing beautiful sun

[creatip]

Hello everyone, So today I had this dream. I was in a cottage in a mountain somewhere. Don't remember the details about the place very much. I was standing in the porch. There was a guy on my right, I don't know/recognize him, but the feeling's he's familiar. He pointed to the sky, not straight up, more like 30-45 degrees. I looked at that direction, and I could see a sun on its way of setting. It's not covered by horizon or cloud or anything, just a big, round sun. The sky was turning amber. Funny thing was, the sun was a bit glimmering in silver, as if it's covered with liquid metal, like liquid aluminium or something like that. What I truly remember was, upon seeing that sun, I felt deeply touched/moved by the scene. Like seeing a happy ending of a good drama kind of touched. I'm not an overly sensitive person, nor an insensitive one. Just average. Anyone kind enough to share some insights? Thank you in advance.

Although in order to provide an accurate interpretation it would usually be best to have some general background information about you as well as a description of recent events just before the dream, it’s possible to provide a few ideas about its meaning because it came from the deep layers of your unconscious mind which are less “personal” and more “collective”. This is partly shown by the image of the big round sun being covered in metal, and a dream like this usually appears at important transition points in the dreamer’s life. Its aim is to provide a picture of what’s happening overall so that the person can kind of be in sync with things and to move forward more effectively as a result of being better connected with deep instinctive movements in their unconscious mind. For example, a mountain most often symbolizes the person’s overall potential as a unique individual. Broadly speaking, the image of the sun also symbolizes this same idea. A mountain, being “solid”, usually has the additional idea of making any potentials etc. (e.g. as symbolized by the sun) actually real in the outside world by working at them in a practical way. Assuming that you’re a girl in interpreting this dream, the guy on your right probably symbolizes your potential for thinking, using your “mind”, and working towards meaning and spiritual insight overall. Being on your “right” (as opposed to his being on the “left”) might symbolize the need to make this part of you more conscious and available for practical everyday use. For example, you might currently rely mostly on your emotions and values to move along in life. While this works quite well, the dream could be encouraging you to develop ALL of your innate capacities over time in order to develop a maturity which can have a special impact on others. A big hint about this came in the earlier dream of your friend where you were a kind of cosmic figure. It’s possible that for him, this “Big Dream” of his was saying that you were the type of girl who could become what’s called a “Femme Inspiratrice” or roughly translated a “Feminine Mentor”. For example, you might someday have the ability to “say exactly the right word at exactly the right time” which could inspire and motivate people to unearth their own potentials etc. You were right to think that such an image could be seen as being like an “ego-maniac” because strictly speaking, it isn’t “you” who would be “saying the right word” but a centre of your personality as symbolized by the mountain and the sun in this dream. This centre probably also appeared in the image of the beautiful woman in red from your other dream which might have been saying something like “You have the potential to develop a valuable inner gift [e.g. the dragons, the dragon castle complex] so don’t get caught up too much in the common pursuit of power, prestige, fame and fortune [e.g. Hong Kong which is kind of “struck down” by powerful storms, possibly meaning that you should really reduce your love of such things]” Your current dream appears to be reminding you of the value and importance of any such inner gift because it’s about very basic, timeless things like a mountain, a simple cottage, the sky and the sun. The guy who in part represents your reflective spiritual side “points the way” to what’s important (e.g. he points towards the setting sun). A setting sun usually symbolizes the “end” of something but in the sense of transition, change and rebirth being involved. This idea is probably emphasized by the sun’s being covered in a silvery metal. That's because this liquid metal could in fact be mercury which usually symbolizes vital change and the valuable potential further development of the dreamer. But the idea of change often includes the unfortunate reality that the person involved can be very reluctant to change, to modify old habits and try new things etc. But not to do so at the crucially right time could mean that she or he could miss an important opportunity which would eventually lead to finding meaning and contentment at the end of a long, busy life. This might have been another reason why you felt so touched by the setting sun in your dream. So the overall interpretation of your very impressive dream could be that, while your effect on others might not in the end actually be huge and “cosmic” in its overall scope and in the numbers of those involved, all the same, fulfilling your overall potentials as a person as well as possible is extraordinarily important and valuable. Anyway as mentioned, without knowing anything much about you, this interpretation might not fit your personal circumstances very well but I hope these ideas can be helpful in some way. Please feel free to make any comments or to ask any questions that you may want to about this particular way of looking at your dream.

-quote- Hello, sorry for my late reply. Let me just start by saying 3 words: Oh My God.... That is one of the most extensive and thorough reading I've ever had in my life. I sincerely can't thank you enough for going out of your way (I mean you didn't have to, but did it anyway) and wrote that marvelous reading. You even analyzed my previous posts, which again, far exceeds whatever expectations I might have had when posting. May God, or the universe, or whatever you believe in, smiles and be kind on you. That's all I can give for your amazing effort. To be honest, I'm still struggling to get the real, implicit and explicit meanings of your entire reading, as English is not my mother tongue. Well, a bit about myself, I'm a guy, not/never married, 30 something. As to my current condition, well, business for me is kinda slow, even stagnant, lately. And to tell you the truth, I'm fighting my best to keep depression from creeping up my brain. Now I understand why people call it 'satan's loop'. Bad business is making me depressed and can't think clearly, but I know I need a clear mind if I'm to have any hopes of improving the situation. It just goes round and round. Stressed caused insomnia I'm developing isn't helping either... Well, enough of my whining about the most cliche problem in the world The thing that really caught my attention of that particular dream was the vividness of the dream. In my experience, my dreams that are vivid usually got some hidden meanings in them. My previous 'dragon dream' also got about the same vividness. Also the way I was touched/moved by that scene of the sun. Like I said, I'm mediocre, not a sensitive person, but also not an insensitive bastard . I could feel warm in my eyes watching happy ending of a good drama, but I'm also able to go to a funeral without excessive emotion. I don't know if that even make sense. I kinda understand the concept of meeting the 'real me' in dreams, where a guy dreams of a girl, and vice versa. In my case it's a bit different. Sometimes it's a guy, sometimes it's a girl. I even dreamed of the 'real me' as me myself one time, like identical twins. I've had my share of esoteric moments and experiences in the past, but since this is strictly a dream forum, those stories might not be appropriate anyway.

Hi again, I’m glad that the interpretations gave you some good ideas to think about. Based on what you’ve written, here are a few improvements to the interpretations. For example, the dream about the sun is probably trying to calm your worries about your business and to help reduce your insomnia and depression. That’s because, as mentioned before, the dream looks like it’s about an important and good change that’s coming, especially if you can be in touch with your own inner feelings and intuitions etc. which can help to show you what to do gradually over time. Since you’re a guy, this affects other parts of the interpretations but the basic ideas mostly remain the same. For example, the man on the mountain now probably also represents what the mountain and the sun represent, that is, your own important, overall potential as a person but also spiritual wisdom which can help to guide you forward. He is of course pointing to the setting sun which seems to mean the idea of change and future fuller development as a person. As mentioned before, maybe the need for change will be hard to face but if you are strong, you will be able to move forward in your life in a good way again. The “cosmic” dream of your friend in which you were holding the sun in your right hand, the moon in your left hand while the Earth was under your feet might have also been an indirect encouragement a few years ago that you could gradually become “whole” and “complete” in spite of obstacles to that which might have been appearing at the time in a gradual reduction in business etc. This is shown by the fact that everything is “balanced” in the dream. For example, the sun usually symbolizes thinking and the intellect and it is balanced out by the moon which is related to emotions, values and intuitions. You are “spiritual” in the dream by apparently being “in the heavens” but you’re also “grounded” and “down to earth” by standing on the Earth which symbolizes practical reality and relationships. You might have to work harder on emotions and relationships to balance things more in your life at this time because you mentioned that feelings kind of “come and go” with you and are often not very strong. In the “cosmic” dream, the result of being balanced is a harmonious completeness as symbolized by you glowing with golden rays. This is a very valuable goal to work towards but as mentioned before, this image isn’t “you” but something called the Self, a kind of centre of the personality. If you’d like to read about this, a good book is “Man and his Symbols”, edited by Carl Jung. A partly new way of looking at the Hong Kong dream might include the idea that you depend too much on outer success (the tall luxurious building you’re in) to feel good about yourself. This is why the dream is maybe wanting you to “destroy” this attitude and look instead at your potentials more with an eye to emotions and feelings (e.g. as represented by the beautiful woman in red). As you know, in Asia dragons are related to good fortune and wisdom. This again suggests the idea of “balance” because a person needs both. Good fortune without the wisdom to make the best of it won’t last, for example. So it looks like the overall interpretations of the dreams can stay mostly the same, that is, becoming the “real you” over time is an extremely valuable and important thing even if outwardly, you might not be really “high up” in material success as if overlooking Hong Kong from an expensive skyscraper. I hope these additional ideas can help.

Yeah, you want to see beauty again. A time when everyone can relate to each other with things like the beautiful sun. The 'drama' ending is to all the bad things in the world and all our problems.
