Me May and Amber, plus Nick and a couple other people were in this front room of this huge beach house it was about 9 or 10 at night.

We were all chatting quietly and I look out the window and gasp and run out to the deck to look at the sky and right above the water on the horizon was the moon HUGE and the sun HUGE and then I guess a reflection of the moon or a huge star or something cos there were 4 moon/planet things in the sky and it didn't seem out of place in the dream LOL

So I'm just staring and then I go 'this is so important' and I run in and grab May's arm and am pulling her out on to the balcony cos she doesn't want to go and then I run and grab Amber and am pleading with her to go look and she doesn't want to either and I am just so excited about the whole thing but I do get them out there and they flip out cos the site is so spectacular so then I'm going 'there's going to be an eclipse!" over and over I'm like stupidly excited by it and keep saying "omg this is so important"

By now Nick is out on the balcony too but I'm like barely noticing him or the other people that are out there and we are watching as two of the moons merge then it's down to the sun and the moon and they are GIGANTIC and I go "omg I have to wake Simon, why have I let him sleep through this?" and I run back inside.

So I race into this bedroom and I can see the light of the moon on Simon's face as he's sleeping, every feature very clearly, and I sit and I'm stroking his leg and going "Simon... Simon you have to wake up...."and he does finally and I tell him he has to come see this, it's so important then I run back outside and watch as the moon and the sun cross each other. Everyone was glued to the sight and then.... when they pass each other.... you can see the light of the sun blazing out along the rim of the moon and there is a bright pinpoint of light in the center of the dark moon... it looked like something imploding and it was stunning and I hear Simon from the doorway whisper "oh...my...god" and I turn and look and he's in this midnight navy long robe and I realize his daughters are there too and he goes "did I miss everything?" and I said "no no you were here for the most important part"

Then all of us look and you can see the white caps on the waves really clearly and everyone was commenting on that and we could see dolphins leaping through it and then we all look back up as the sun and the moon start appearing and Simon reaches out and takes my hand and pulls me back inside the house and says "we have to be together before the sun and the moon are separate again" and then BOOM we're in bed :-P and May and Amber are on the balcony with Nick and Simon's daughters and some other people and Simon is saying something about the moon in Gemini and us having twins because of it and then the dream goes to the next day and I am wading through the waves with Ben (my 4 year old) and getting wet :-P

The sight of the moon/sun in the sky was so spectacular, I saw it whenever I closed my eyes for about half a day afterward and was still seeing Simon in the navy robe and hearing him whisper "oh my god did I miss everything?"

I began to look at this dream last night, but my mind just would not get into it. I think Amber has temporarily scrambled my brains! I will give it another shot tonight!

This dream has multple symbols which represent both the conscious and the unconscious and the merging or connecting of the two.

The beach house suggests a place where the collective unconscious (ocean) meets the conscious (land), and looking out the window indicates awareness.

It seems you have become aware of some sort of dynamic between the unconscious (moon) and the conscious (sun) forces. And these forces are powerful, as indicated by the size of the sun and moon.

Here, the symbology gets complex, as the sun and moon can symbolize a myriad of things - including, as you have said, you and your twin. There is a definate meaning behind the 4 "moon/planet things" that I have yet to grasp. They could symbolize anything from people to a time table of some kind, or some sort of cyclic action (moon = cycle).

Your excitement and the other's disinterest could be because of the personal nature of your symbolic "discovery", which of course they do find interest in once they become aware of its "importance" to you. And I have not yet grasped the significance of the two moons merging. This could represent the completion of some cycle, or the coming together of two people within your circle of friends, or a certain amount of time that has passed or will pass, or even the birth of a child. - I am just not sure.

It seems as though your twin is relatively unaware (sleeping) of the phenomena that you have become aware of at first. Moonlight can symbolize romance or magic which is quite appropriate here and no doubt is a "reflection" of your emotions and could suggest something of the future - something magical. Perhaps he will eventually become aware - this could be tied in with the possible symbology of the time table.

To me, the eclipse of the sun by the moon, and the light surrounding and in the center, suggests that awareness (sun) will overcome unawareness (moon) - that enlightenment (sun) will shine through the emotional dross (moon) - that perhaps he (sun) will come to understand you (moon) - and it is no coincidence that at this point he appears from the doorway (transition) in a navy blue robe (both an intimate symbol as well as one of spiritual alignment). I do not know what the daughters symbolize - perhaps they represent an obstacle (not necessarily bad) or barrier that will in time grow and leave?

The effect of this "eclipse" is magical, so says the moonlit waves and dancing dolphins.

The rest of the dream, I do not know. It simply does not register. Perhaps I am not supposed to know this, or it is not yet time to.

There are many open-ended symbologies here ... what are your thoughts?

If this does not feel right, there are other possibilities.

This feels right, this is amazing actually!!

His daughters would be an obstacle of the non-bad variety and I totally understand that being represented here.

If this is representing in anyway our coming together/understanding of each other that could explain the "we have to be together before the sun and the moon are separate again"... maybe that is a time table like you mentioned... I dunno but he seemed quite insistant (once he grabs on to something he is tenacious)

The dream itself felt magical. I actually dreamt it in the late afternoon. I was wide awake and suddenly I just felt compelled to sleep. I *had* to sleep and I went in and fell asleep instantly and that was my dream. I woke up around 7:30 that night and I was like "I have to call people and tell them this" I was totally on a high from that dream.
