Darkness
To dream of darkness represents situations where you feel there is nothing positive happening, fear, ignorance, or powerful uncertainty. You might be feeling lost, unable to see a clear path forward, or hiding from a difficult truth you need to face. Embracing this darkness is often the first step toward finding your inner light and seeking genuine clarity.
