Sunrise!sunset Dream Meanings

Sunrise may symbolize new life, or a new phase in your personal development. Sunset may symbolize death, literally or figuratively; or the end of a phase. There is a widespread myth of the death and rebirth of a sun-god, who dies in the west, where he is swallowed by the ocean, but rises again in the east. This may be seen as symbolizing the personal transformation brought about by attending to the promptings of the unconscious. This involves being willing to relinquish reliance on intellect alone and submit to the tutelage of a more primitive kind of knowing.
