What does it mean to dream about voice from the dark?

A sound coming from an unseen source in a dream, often carrying an important message without a visible speaker figure.

A voice from the dark archetypally symbolizes unconscious material that has not yet crystallized into a recognizable image, yet is already capable of direct verbal expression. This is often a more direct channel of psychological communication than a visual image, bypassing the need for form.
