Sun
Vitality, consciousness, success
Twin or Double
Duality, inner conflict, mirror self
Sun
The sun is the supreme symbol of consciousness, vitality, and life force. A bright sun represents clarity, optimism, and success. A rising sun symbolizes new beginnings, while a setting sun represents completion and the transition to rest. An eclipse suggests temporary blockage of vitality or consciousness. In Jungian analysis, the sun represents the conscious ego and the illuminating power of awareness.
Twin or Double
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.
