Between the "Majesty of the Sultan" and the "Companion of the Dark".. A Comprehensive Encyclopedia 1. Introduction: The Sun and Moon.. The Alphabet of Destiny In the beginning, the sky was the first book humanity read. The Sun is the cosmic "Father," the life-giver, symbol of clarity, absolute authority, and gold. The Moon is the "Mother" or "Minister," symbol of emotion, shifting beauty, silver, and guidance in darkness. Seeing these two celestial bodies in a dream is not a trivial event; it is a "Sovereign Vision." It speaks of the "heads" of your life: The Ruler, the Boss, the Parents, or the Spouse. This dream places you before the mirror of truth: Is your life radiant like the noon sun? Is it going through a temporary eclipse? Or are you living the phases of the moon between waning and waxing? In this massive reference, we decode the astronomy of dreams, relying on Ibn Sirin (Sun as Caliph, Moon as Minister), Al-Nabulsi (Sun/Moon as Parents), and Ibn Shaheen (Colors and Heat), to understand: Are you promised a great kingdom, or warned of a cosmic coup in your life? 2. General Interpretation (Perspective of the Three Scholars) The three scholars agree that the Sun and Moon represent "Leadership Figures," but differ in rank and influence. Ibn Sirin (Imam of Authority): Views the Sun as the Supreme King, Caliph, Father, or Manager. It is "Absolute Authority." Sunrays represent Justice and Knowledge. The Moon is the Minister, Prince, Wife, or Righteous Son. The Moon represents "Subordinate Authority" reflecting light. Their conjunction (meeting) is the meeting of parents or two great powers; if bright, it is glory; if dark, it is a disaster for leaders. Al-Nabulsi (Philosopher of Bonds): Focuses deeply on "Parents." The Sun is the Mother (sometimes reversed based on context) and the Moon is the Father. He links the Sun to "Gold" and the Moon to "Silver." He says: "Whoever has the Sun and Moon rise upon him attains glory and wealth from parents or spouse." He sees the Sun as "Truth" ; its appearance is the unveiling of secrets. Ibn Shaheen (Scrutinizer of Form): Focuses on "Color and Heat." A red sun is "Worry, Disease," or an unjust ruler. A clear sun is "Governorship and Justice." He distinguishes between the sun's heat (potentially harmful) and its light (pure benefit). He links the Moon to beauty; seeing it in one's room is a clear sign of marrying a beautiful person. 3. Detailed Nuances: Eclipse, Sunrise, Sunset Solar Eclipse (Loss of King): An evil omen for all three. Indicates the death of the King, dismissal of the Father, illness of the Mother, or a general calamity. It is the "Obliteration of Truth." Lunar Eclipse (Grief of the Minister): Calamity befalling the Minister or Wife, or obstruction in livelihood (since the Moon governs timing/months). Rising from the West (The Great Sign): The Sun rising from the West is "Exposing Secrets." Hidden things become public. It signifies immense fear or a reversal of cosmic laws (End of Times symbol), indicating the end of an era with no return (Ibn Sirin). Conjunction (Meeting): Bright: Blessed marriage or parental approval. Dark/Clashing: War between kings, parental divorce, or major sedition. 4. Positive Interpretation: Glory and Empowerment Holding the Sun/Moon (Ibn Sirin): Whoever holds the sun, hugs the moon, or swallows them, attains a great kingdom, begets a leader son, or marries a person of noble lineage and supreme beauty. Prostration (Story of Joseph): If the Sun, Moon, and stars prostrate to the dreamer, this is the vision of Joseph (PBUH). The dreamer will attain rule, and his family (parents/siblings) will submit to him in respect after a trial. Becoming a Sun/Moon (Al-Nabulsi): Becoming a Sun means attaining rule and justice. Becoming a Moon means becoming a scholar guiding people in darkness. Sun in the House: Entering the house (without harmful heat) brings Gold, provision, or marriage to a high-status woman. 5. Negative Interpretation: Burning and Absence Scorching Heat (Ibn Shaheen): Being burned by the sun means trouble with the Sultan or severe fever. Scorching sun indicates "Father's Anger" or severe administrative punishment. Falling from Sky: Falling to earth indicates the death of a great person in that place. Falling into the sea/well indicates the ruler's imprisonment or death. Absence of Sun (Sudden Darkness): Unemployment, poverty, death of the breadwinner (Father), or death of the sick (sunset of life). Moon Splitting: Family dispersion, emergence of heresy, or death of a minister/scholar (referencing the miracle of splitting the moon). 6. Interpretation by Dreamer's State Single: Sun: Marriage to a man of authority/awe (Father figure). Moon: Marriage to a handsome man (Prince figure). Married: Sun: The Husband; bright means love, absent means travel/illness. Moon: The Son; moon in lap means a boy. Eclipse: Major marital problems darkening the home. Pregnant: Sun: Beautiful daughter (like the sun) or a son with kingly status. Moon: A calm, righteous boy. Divorced: Sunrise: New life where rights are restored. Moon: Marriage to a tender man (Minister) compensating for the previous King (Ex-husband). Man: Sun: Career/Trade/Mind. Brightness is success. Moon: Partner/Wife. Multiple Suns: War/Sedition. 7. Psychological Analysis (Freud & Jung) The Sun and Moon are the Archetypes of the psyche: Freud (Parental Complex): Sun: The Father Figure. Power, Law, Punishment, Protection. Fear of the sun is fear of authority. Moon: The Mother Figure. Care, Mystery, Emotion, Mood swings. Conflict between them reflects internal conflict from an unstable upbringing. Jung (Anima & Animus): Sun (Animus): Masculine aspect (Logos, Action, Consciousness). Moon (Anima): Feminine aspect (Intuition, Eros, Unconscious). Conjunction: The meeting of Sun and Moon is the peak of "Wholeness" ; reconciliation of reason and emotion. 8. Complex Visions Sun Speaking: Good words mean matchless elevation. Scolding means committing a great sin. Walking in Moonlight: Following guidance, a righteous mother/wife, or seeking knowledge (Moon reflects Sun's light). New Moon (Hidden): Needs will not be met now; a period of "Latency" before a new beginning (Crescent). Swallowing the Sun: Death (only the grave swallows the sun permanently) or concealing a truthful testimony. 9. Stories from Heritage A man told Ibn Sirin: "I saw the Sun descend and speak to me." Ibn Sirin asked: "Did it give good news?" He said: "Yes." Ibn Sirin said: "You will attain governorship or find treasure and knowledge." He became the Caliph's scribe. A woman told Al-Nabulsi: "The Moon fell in my lap." He asked: "Is your husband absent?" She said yes. He said: "He returns safely." And he did. 10. Modern Interpretations Solar Energy: Sustainability and smart renewable provision. Fame: The Sun symbolizes the "Spotlight." Being lit by the sun means becoming an Influencer/Famous. Climate Change: Fear of scorching sun reflects "Eco-anxiety." 11. Actionable Advice Parents: Check on your parents immediately. Bright sun/moon means you are dutiful; dark means fix the relationship. Authority: If the sun scorches, beware of your boss/ruler; do not break laws now. Clarity: The Sun calls for honesty. The Moon calls for reflection. Prayer: If you see an eclipse, rush to prayer and charity (Sadaqah). 12. Conclusion The Sun and Moon in dreams are the "Compass of Destiny." The Sun defines your day (work/power), the Moon defines your night (emotion/home). Ibn Sirin teaches "Height is Glory," Al-Nabulsi reminds of "Sanctity of Parents," and Jung points to "Inner Balance." Ensure your Sun of faith rises and your Moon of kinship never sets.
