Black — Interpretation
Black in dreams is not the color of death — it is the color of the unknown, the unborn, and the vast interior darkness from which all things emerge. It represents the fertile void, the unconscious itself, and the profound potential of what has not yet taken form.
💡 Advice
Do not hurry past your black dream. The darkness is not an absence of meaning — it is a kind of meaning that requires patience and a willingness not to know yet. Stay in the question.
