Black Eclipse in dreams
A familiar light temporarily blocked — what you took for constant has gone briefly dark.
How black changes the reading
The base reading of Eclipse
An eclipse in a dream is the dictionary's image of a familiar light temporarily blocked. The dream often appears at moments in life when a source you had relied on — a person, an authority, a self-image — has gone briefly dark and is not yet back.
The dream is usually steady about it. The light returns.
Where you often see it. The sun gone briefly dark in the middle of a workday. A familiar lighting suddenly wrong. A scene that returns to normal but the dreamer remembers. The dream uses eclipse when a reliable source — a person, an authority, a self-image — has gone briefly absent and you are still adjusting.
What it is not. An eclipse is not a death-of-the-source. It is the temporary absence the dream is asking you to register.
