Darkness vs Father

Darkness

Darkness in dreams represents the unknown, the unconscious mind, and fear of what you cannot see. Complete darkness suggests being 'in the dark' about something important. Fear of the dark reflects fear of the unconscious and its contents. However, darkness can also be a womb-like, protective state — a necessary emptiness before new creation. The response to darkness (fear vs. acceptance) is diagnostically important.

Father

Father figures represent authority, guidance, rules, and protection. They can also symbolize your relationship with societal structures, discipline, and traditional values. Dreaming of your father may reflect your internalized sense of authority and how you relate to power structures.
