Sun

Psychological (Freud)

In dreams the sun can embody the father or an inner authority by whose light the ego both warms itself and fears being scorched. Its rising often mirrors a buried wish for recognition and the awakening of a creative vitality that had long lain hidden in the unconscious.

Oriental reading

In the tradition of Ibn Sirin the sun symbolizes the ruler, the father, or a person of high standing; a clear, gentle sun foretells power, justice, and good fortune. An eclipsed or scorching sun, by contrast, warns of hardship from those in authority or of fading honor.

Nature & Elements

Dream interpretation is for self-reflection and entertainment — it is not a medical or psychological diagnosis.
