Night
Night often arrives in dreams carrying the weight of uncertainty — what cannot yet be seen, what remains unknown or unresolved in waking life. Yet darkness can hold both difficulty and the quiet promise of dawn, inviting you to notice whether the dream feels oppressive or strangely peaceful.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for night, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
If you are surrounded by night in your dreams, you may expect unusual oppression and hardships in business. If the night seems to be vanishing, conditions which hitherto seemed unfavorable will now grow bright, and affairs will assume prosperous phases.

Fontaine, 1862
(See Stars.) To dream of a clear beautiful night when the stars are shining, indicates that you will have a long and happy life and be very successful in all your undertakings. To dream you are courting your sweetheart on such a night shows that she is true to you. To dream of a cloudy night portends disasters in business, and to dream of a stormy night indicates sickness.
