Dreaming of Sadness
In short
What does dreaming of Sadness mean?
Dreaming of sadness means your soul is descending into its depths for a necessary work of mourning — a hollowing that makes it vaster. Linked to Saturn, Capricorn, and the Hermit (IX), it is the dark night of the soul — the saudade, the mono no aware, the melancholy that carries its own beauty. Sadness is not a weakness but a deepening.
Jungian interpretation
The descent into the depths. Sadness hollows out the soul and makes it vaster. The blue of the soul.
Freudian interpretation
Mourning (Trauer) — the necessary psychic work of accepting the loss of a beloved object.
Esoteric meaning
Linked to Saturn and Capricorn. The Hermit (IX) — contemplative solitude. The dark night of the soul.
