Blood moon
Red moon, Blood-red moon, Copper moon
During a total lunar eclipse the moon doesn't vanish. It glows deep copper or rust, lit by the light of every sunrise and sunset on Earth at once. A blood moon in a dream often makes a familiar thing strange for a short time: a person, a place or a feeling you thought you knew now shows an unusual, intense side. It can come when emotions run strong but quietly, more like a slow burn than a flare. Watching it with others makes the strangeness something you went through together. Notice what you were thinking as you looked up; that thought may matter more than the sky.
