Sky

The sky in dreams often mirrors your inner atmosphere—clear skies suggest emotional spaciousness, while storms or strange colors may reflect turbulence or uncertainty beneath the surface. Notice what you felt looking up: awe, dread, longing, or perhaps the quiet question of whether something larger holds you.

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for sky, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901

Ten Thousand Dreams Interpreted

To dream of the sky, signifies distinguished honors and interesting travel with cultured companions, if the sky is clear. Otherwise, it portends blasted expectations, and trouble with women.

To dream of floating in the sky among weird faces and animals, and wondering all the while if you are really awake, or only dreaming, foretells that all trouble, the most excruciating pain, that reach even the dullest sense will be distilled into one drop called jealousy, and will be inserted into your faithful love, and loyalty will suffer dethronement.

To see the sky turn red, indicates that public disquiet and rioting may be expected.

Fontaine, 1862

The Golden Wheel Dream-book

A clear sky denotes a marriage, speedy, and happy; a red sky, increase of wealth; if you ascend into the sky, you may look for much honor; a cloudy sky shows misfortune.
