Red sky at sunset
A sky burning red at day's end — a closing of the day marked by deep colour.
A red sky at sunset in a dream is the dream's image of the end of a stretch of time announced in unmissable colour. Sailors read it as a sign of weather coming; in human terms, the sky is offering a closing image that is impossible to be casual about. The dream brings the red sky when something in your life — a phase of work, a long relationship, a season of a particular self — is currently ending with that intensity of last light. A red sky watched until it fades is the dream affirming that the ending was witnessed properly and the dark after it is being accepted. A red sky turned away from is the dream noting that the closing was offered in the clearest possible form and the witness chose not to stand at the window.
