A Dictionary of Dream Symbols

by Eric Ackroyd
(1) East is where the sun rises and may therefore signify some kind of ‘rebirth’: perhaps a radical re-orientation of yourself so that you face and receive all that is good and life-enhancing. The star in the east* guided the Wise Men to the Christ; and Christ, psychologically speaking, is a symbol of the true self.

(2) Is it eastern countries / culture / values / spiritualitv that is making a deep appeal to you? This may mean you should go there / do some reading / start meditating. Alternatively, it mav simply mean that you need to look somewhere - ultimately, in your inner self - for more real and relevant goals and values than those that have been dominating your life so far.

Ariadne's Book of Dream

by Ariadne Green
As the direction of the rising sun. the east points to the source of inspiration, the blessing, grace, and the glory through God’s communication.

It is associated with the mountain, the highest center of spiritual attainment. Moving in an eastward direction in your dream thus signifies questing for your spiritual connection with the God Source and God Self, as well as entering a new-beginning phase of your life.
