Since in real life the darkness often scares us and provokes the emergence of various kinds of phobias, then appearing in night visions, it usually receives by no means an optimistic explanation. However, it is known that the true meaning of sleep can be comprehended only by taking into account all its plot features. Let’s try to figure out why the dark is dreaming, and for this purpose we will resort to the help of the most authoritative interpreters.
Faded light and chilling cold
Starting the review, we will open the wanderer's Dream Book, very popular these days. Its compilers do not always associate darkness with something sinister and foreshadowing disaster. For example, they write that if you dreamed that the office light suddenly went out and impenetrable darkness reigned, then this is a sure sign of an imminent promotion. Even if this does not happen (which is unlikely), the dreamer may well expect an increase in salary, or at least a substantial premium. In any case, this will favorably affect his financial situation, and, consequently, his social status.
But if a chilling cold is added to the darkness, then in this case the meaning of what is seen changes radically. In real life, this person, apparently, will have to go through difficult times. The circumstances will be extremely unprofitable for him, but he cannot quickly turn the tide of events. In their comments on why the dark is dreaming, the compilers of the dream book recommend that everyone with whom it was accompanied by a cold should have patience and restraint. It is very likely that they will need these qualities soon.
Overseas Dream Interviewer
Well-known interpreter of night visions in our time - American pastor David Loff - also found it necessary to speak out about why the dark is dreaming. The dream book, entitled by his name, contains eloquent evidence of how negatively the author relates to this vision. For example, he writes that the darkness that reigned in the room where the dreamer was (not important, at work or at home) may be a harbinger of an extremely difficult situation in which he is destined to find himself. Moreover, the more impenetrable it will be, the more difficult the circumstances will be.
Dear pastor, we recommend that everyone who finds themselves in a similar situation do not hesitate to turn to relatives and friends for help, since any problem, as you know, is easier to resolve by joint efforts. If there is a need for the intervention of a professional (doctor, lawyer, priest, etc.), then he should be contacted immediately.
A lady who is not afraid of the darkness of night
Among the interpreters who are optimistic about what the dark dream is, one can call another overseas specialist, this time a woman - Mrs. Hasse. In recent years, her dream book has become one of the most popular publications of this kind and enjoys increasing popularity among readers. On its pages she writes, in particular, that the dreamed darkness can be regarded as a symbol of prosperity and peace in the house.
In addition, if after losing something in reality, a person then sees himself in a dream as he walks along a dark street, then this is an undoubted sign that a loss will soon be found. Feeling yourself wandering in the dark with some acquaintance or relative, there is no doubt that if in real life there is a difficult situation (and this may very well happen), then this person will help to get out of it.
An endless night
Now we turn to the Modern dream book, on the pages of which there is also a conversation about why the dark is dreaming. Its authors give an interpretation of the plot in which the dreamer dreams that the night surrounding him will last forever and never give way to the light of day. This image of hopeless darkness, in their opinion, portends the onset of difficult times. Like the above Mr. Loff, the compilers of the dream book recommend not to try to overcome them alone, but advise you to seek help from loved ones.
They also consider such a plot of sleep: the street is impenetrable night, and a person sees himself in a brightly lit room. Its interpretation is fundamentally different from the one given earlier. In this case, the dreamer has no reason to worry - hard times will come, but personally they will not touch him. However, if the troubles affect friends or relatives, then his duty is to come to their aid.
Do not be too gullible!
Gustav Miller, a prominent American psychiatrist, also commented on why dark is dreamed indoors. At the beginning of the 20th century, he compiled and published a dream book that does not lose popularity even today. The reason for this is the deep scientific validity of all the author’s statements contained in it.
So, on the basis of numerous observations by Miller, it was established that to see in a dream the darkness that suddenly filled the room is a sign of the dreamer's excessive credulity inherent in real life. At the same time, if the place of action was an office or some other industrial premises, manifestations of negative consequences should be expected at work. Seeing your own house, plunged into darkness, you should expect unpleasant surprises from family members.
The author does not try in this way to set readers against their colleagues or relatives, but simply reminds that people tend to lie and hypocrite at times, therefore, everything that they say should not be taken for granted. The question of why the dream of darkness in the house is extremely difficult, so the interpreters do not always agree on their opinions.
Do not run in the dark!
Continuing the topic, I would like to cite the statement of the compilers of the English dream book, explaining in detail to their readers what they dream of running in the dark. We note immediately that, in their opinion, this is a very bad dream. Apparently, they write, in real life the dreamer tries to achieve success quickly and without much energy, not realizing that he has a long and difficult path leading to him. In his errors he is likened to a blind man and at any moment he can stumble and fall a victim of his own frivolity.
The British (or those who impersonate them) are explaining with great optimism the question of why the light is dreamed in the dark. The image of the rays breaking through the darkness itself is filled with positive, but for them it has a specific semantic load. Like the classic "light at the end of the tunnel", it symbolizes the successful completion of all troubles and misfortunes. For a catcher of quick success, deservedly punished by life itself, such a dream gives hope that his misfortunes will end soon and he will find the desired well-being.
Loss of orientation in reality and in a dream
What is the dream of darkness, paralyzing the will of man and preventing him from moving where light can glimmer? The answer to this question can be found in the Imperial dream book, the authors of which quite reasonably believe that the reason for such a gloomy vision is a person’s fear of real life. Extreme insecurity in himself, his strengths and abilities impedes his movement along the path of self-realization.
The compilers of the dream book further indicate that the reason for the loss of orientation in the dark space of night visions is often anger towards real people, which in reality overwhelms the dreamer. Blinding a person and creating imaginary enemies in his imagination, anger paralyzes him with fear of them. This gloom of hopelessness is projected onto dreams in which the dreamer loses his ability to navigate and becomes a victim of the darkness surrounding him.
Avoid random encounters in the dark
At the end of the article, we again touch upon the question of why the dark is dreamed about in the room, since in this way it most often seems to us. Opening the Universal Dream Book, also one of the most popular publications of this kind, you can see that its authors attach great importance to whether the dreamer was alone or felt someone's presence nearby. In the first case, there is reason to believe that in real life he lacks caution and with his reckless actions, he incurs some kind of danger - darkness, as you know, is a symbol of a hidden threat.
In the second case, the personality of the person seen next to himself plays an important role. If this is someone from close people, then, apparently, in reality he needs help, but for some reason refrains from asking for it. At the same time, a stranger, who appeared with a dreamer in a dark room, can be a warning about imminent danger, to foresee, and even more so to prevent, which is hardly possible.
