Eclipse

An eclipse in a dream is a luminary in shadow — consciousness or intuition temporarily obscured by its opposite. Vedic astrology treats eclipses as karmically loaded, times when old patterns are released and new ones seeded. Mayan tradition held eclipses as moments when the cosmic order revealed its hidden machinery. Jungian dream analysis reads eclipse-dreams as the ego briefly covered by the unconscious (solar eclipse) or the unconscious briefly clarified by the ego (lunar eclipse). Either way, a phase of reorganization is underway. Notice who you are with during the eclipse, and whether the light returns within the dream.
