Eclipse Dream Meaning

Dream interpretation

Seeing an eclipse in your dream signifies ominous signs or impending disasters in your life. If you witness a solar eclipse, it indicates danger for the country's leader or ruler. Conversely, a lunar eclipse suggests unfortunate events for the Prime Minister. Such dreams may urge you to remain aware of the circumstances around you and the political climate.

Ibn Sirin

Eclipse — Islamic interpretation

From Imam Muhammad Ibn Seerin's Dictionary of Dreams According to Islamic Inner Traditions — entry "Eclipse" (page 138).

Seeing a solar eclipse in a dream means that a calamity will befall the leader of a country, while a lunar eclipse represents a calamity that will befall the prime minister. It is also said that a solar eclipse in a dream signifies the death of one's wife or his mother. If a cloud covers the light of the sun in a dream, it means that a sickness will befall the leader of the country or the governor of the land. If one sees the sun moving above the clouds but cannot come from under it in a dream, it means his death. The sun in a dream also may represent a great scholar. A cloud covering the sunlight in a dream means the fall of an unjust ruler. (Also see Moon; Sun)

Note: Islamic dream interpretation depends on the dreamer's circumstances and state. This is a general guide drawn directly from the source book.
