What does it mean to dream about sun?

The central celestial body in dreams, often symbolizing consciousness, clarity, vitality, and the central organizing force of personality.

Omens associate the sun with joy, success, and lucidity. Archetypally, the sun represents the conscious ego and its central organizing role in the psyche—a source of clarity, warmth, and vitality. Its condition in the dream (bright, eclipsed, rising, setting) reflects the current state of conscious clarity and energy. The 'Sun' rune in Raido's archetypes adds stability to this image: the sun is a landmark that does not move, whatever happens around it.
