I saw the moon in my dream. What does it mean?
Seeing the moon in a dream is interpreted in the Islamic tradition of dream interpretation as light, beauty, a respected person and the elders of the family. In the Quran, the moon in the dream of the Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) pointed to his mother; so the moon is also often understood as a mother, a spouse or someone dear to the heart.
The symbols in your dream
Seeing a full moon: A matter being completed, joy and good news.
Seeing a crescent moon: A new beginning, a new period or glad tidings.
The moon falling into your lap: A blessed marriage for a single person; in some interpretations, a righteous child.
The moon bright and clear: Peace of heart and affection within the family.
