Darkness

Dark, Pitch dark, In the dark

Darkness takes away the details and leaves you with your other senses and your imagination. Dream darkness can mean the unknown, rest, or things you haven't looked at yet. Being afraid of the dark can stir up childhood worries, or a current one that grows bigger when you can't see its edges. Yet darkness isn't only frightening: it's also where seeds sprout and stars show up. If you felt peaceful in it, you may simply need a break from being seen and judged.
