Dreaming about the sun
A reading for meaning, not prophecy
The sun is read as vitality, truth, and authority — in the East yang, success, and rising fortune (日), in the West the conscious Self and clarity, in Ibn Sirin's tradition a great authority or ruler.

Three readings
In Chinese tradition · 周公解梦 · 日
周公解梦 reads the sun as 日 — yang, power, and rising fortune; a bright sun marks success, vitality, and recognition, a setting or clouded sun a decline or obscurity to weather. It is the height of one's energy and standing.
In Western psychology · Jungian
Jung read the sun as the conscious Self and the source of clarity and life-force — illumination, the ego at its fullest. A rising sun marks awakening and renewal; an eclipse or darkened sun, a crisis of identity or vitality.
In Islam · Ibn Sirin
Ibn Sirin read the sun as a great authority — a ruler, a father, or a powerful figure; its brightness their favour and strength, its eclipse a trial befalling one in power. Framed as meaning: where is your vitality and authority shining, or dimmed?
