Moonless night
A night without the moon — darkness in which the small lights you had to navigate by are gone.
A moonless night in a dream is the dream's image of a darkness in which the steady small light you had to navigate by is simply gone. The stars are still there; what is missing is the reliable modest companion. The dream brings the moonless night when something in your life — a trusted person, a habit of self-honesty, a familiar piece of guidance — is currently absent, and you are doing the night-walk on more remote light than before. A moonless night accepted as a temporary condition is the dream affirming the patience to wait the cycle out. A moonless night fought with anger, as if the absence were personal, is the dream noting that the cycle is the cycle, and the small companion was never owed by the sky.
