Moon
Unconscious, intuition, cycles

Moon
The moon represents the unconscious mind, intuition, feminine energy, and the cyclical nature of life. A full moon suggests emotional fullness and heightened intuition. A new moon represents new beginnings and potential. Moonlight illuminates the dream landscape with a softer, more intuitive light than the sun. The moon's phases mirror the natural cycles of growth, fullness, and release in our emotional lives.

Seeing your double, twin, or doppelganger in a dream represents confrontation with another aspect of yourself — perhaps a side you don't normally acknowledge. This can represent inner conflict between two desires, the gap between who you are and who you present to the world, or the emergence of an undeveloped part of your personality seeking integration.
