Dreaming Lens: Was the Sun rising, setting, or mid-sky? Was it the Sun as we know it in our solar system? Was it closer than normal? Further away? Was the heat of the Sun oppressive or dangerous, or was it warm and comforting? Did you experience it from the vantage point of Earth or space? Were you traveling toward it or perhaps even into it? Was the Sun being eclipsed in your dream? Was solar energy the focus of the dream?
Personal Focus: The Sun is the source of almost all life on Earth. There was probably no prehistoric civilization that didn’t worship the Sun as a god or supreme being. Though modern science has demystified the Sun somewhat by expanding our understanding of what it is made of, its awe-inspiring nature is just as magnificent today as it must have been for early humankind.
As the focal point of the system that we call home, it is the symbolic center of life itself. Not only do we literally revolve around it in space, we also have created our lives to revolve around our relationship with it. The power contained within the Sun is so enormous, it is almost unfathomable. From the impact of the seasons to the rhythm of day and night, the Sun truly embodies human consciousness. The condition and position of the Sun in your dreams, as well as your proximity to it, are crucial to an accurate interpretation. If you dream of comfortably basking in its embracing warmth, it could indicate a sense of contentment with life. If you experience the harmful and dangerous effects of too much Sun in your dream, you might want to consider paying more attention to some of the more powerful forces in your life. In the same way that a sunburn can sneak up and surprise the unwitting sunbather, forces of power left unchecked can do damage that go unnoticed until the damage is done.
A sunrise may point to new beginnings just as a sunset may indicate an ending of some sort. If your dream Sun is blocked by clouds, you may want to consider where in your life your personal power is being limited or held back. To dream of tapping into the technology of solar power may allow you to recognize that every human being has a birthright to an endless supply of abundance and limitless life force. If your dream finds you in fantastical close proximity to the Sun, such as flying through space toward it or even through the Sun itself, you could be dreaming of connecting with a new surge of personal power. However, be warned: To whom much is given, much will be required.
