Shadow in a dream
In folk belief, a shadow in a dream means shade, a breather and the quiet side of you that asks for a little care.
In folk belief a shadow in a dream is no cause for worry, because wherever there is a shadow there is also a light that casts it. Old dream books read it as the shade in which a person rests, but also as thoughts you carry with you and rarely say aloud. A long shadow is said to speak of memories, a short one of living in the present moment. The dream is believed to invite you to be gentler with yourself.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of your own shadow on the wall
People say you want to get to know yourself better. It is a good moment to give yourself credit for what you have already done.
Dreaming of resting in the shade of a tree
In folk belief a well-earned break is coming after some tiring days. The dream tells you that rest is not laziness but a need.
Dreaming of a large shadow in front of you
Old dream books say something looks bigger than it really is. When you step closer, you will see how small the matter is and how easily it can be solved.
Dreaming of shadows playing in the light
Your imagination is in a playful mood and it is time for something creative. A lovely sign for drawing, writing and every kind of making.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
