Spiritual Meaning:
The sun can symbolize spiritual enlightenment and radiance. The dreamer can ‘soak up’and use the sun’s power for further spiritual development. Because the sun is such a powerful image on its own as a life source, it can also appear in dreams as a symbol for other life energy.


Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
The sun in dreams suggests warmth and conscious awareness. If dreaming of a Native American Sun Dance, or any such worship, we may be wishing to acknowledge the sun for its all-encompassing power and energy. We are using the energy of the sun for guidance and vitality.

Everyday Material Aspects:
A sunny day suggests happiness. To be drawn to the sun indicates we are looking for enlightenment. In turning towards the sun, the sunflower could be said to be a symbol of obsession, but also of worship. With its many seeds it also represents fertility.

Gender / Specific Meanings:
There was an ancient belief that the sun was masculine and the moon feminine. The image of the sun and the moon appearing together in a dream follows that belief and suggests integration of masculine and feminine energies.
