What does it mean to dream about the moon? Learning the symbolism of the moon can help you understand your emotions and feelings more clearly.

moon dream meaning

To see the moon in your dream represents some covert, mysterious element of yourself. It is usually connected with a female presence as well as intuition.

The moon can also indicates your changing moods. We often associate the moon with our emotional state. Just as the moon can influence the tides in the ocean, a moon can be a symbol that you need to be aware of your feelings and emotional well-being.

For this reason, it’s often useful to also look up the dream meaning for water, since water and moons often appear together in a dream.

What it Means to Dream About the Moon

Let’s explore some of the themes we often see in dreams about the moon.

Wisdom and Intuition

To see the moon in the dream often means you are seeking guidance about some situation in your life. You may not be sure what to do next in life and are seeking higher wisdom to help guide you on your path.

The moon in your dream may be telling you to follow your intuition and to remember that you have a deep spiritual connection with the divine to help give you the wisdom you need for your life.

Mystery and The Unknown

For many centuries, very little was known about the moon. For this reason, the moon is often a symbol of the things we do not know or understand in life.

You may be faced with some type of uncertainty in your life or you may be trying to understand why something has happened to you.

Peace and Serenity

If you’ve ever basked under the light of the moon, you know that it can create a mood of peacefulness and serenity. Many people believe the moon to be a symbol of serenity.

Dreaming about a moon can mean you are looking for calm in your everyday life. Think about things you can do to make your life stress free and find inner peace.

Common Moon Dreams Meaning

When you are trying to understand what the moon might mean in a dream, there are a few things you must ask yourself.

First, what sort of a moon was it? Where do you see the moon? Do you see the moon next to other planets in a dream? Next, consider what actions you are performing in your moon dream. What activities are you doing? What events are happening?

Are you flying to the moon? This could suggest that you’re attempting to escape particular responsibilities.

Are you able to reach out and touching the moon? This could mean you intend high and won’t settle for anything less then perfection.

Are you showering or basking in the moonlight? This could mean you’re not necessarily seeing things clearly. It could also mean you have a romanticized version of your life that does not really match with reality.

Did you dream the moon has exploded? This could mean you have a goal of doing something impractical. You may be feeling like you cannot fully reach your aspirations in life. Seeing a moon in a dream of an apocalypse could also signify your feelings about change or loss.

How We Experience the Moon in Dreams

We can see the moon in our dreams in a number of different ways. Here are some common examples and their interpretation.

Full Moon Dream Meaning

The picture of the full moon is often associated with feeling lucky or having favorable circumstances. However, this is not always necessarily a true indication of what a full moon in a dream may mean.

If you see the full moon in your dream, it could be an indication that while you desire more in your life you are also content with what you currently have and feel grateful for it.

A full moon can mean you are feeling complete, or you are fully aware of your entire being of energy coming into focus.

Crescent Moon

To see the crescent moon in your dream indicates cyclic adjustments, revival, as well as movement. You are proceeding smoothly towards your life course.

Two Moons

If you see 2 moons in your dream, this may indicate that you feel like you are being pulled in two different directions in life.

The expression “walk two moons” also means to take some time to think about a situation.

Lunar Eclipse

To see the eclipse of the moon in your dream signifies that your womanly side is being eclipsed. Or it may indicate that some covert aspect of yourself is concerning the surface.

To dream that you touch the moon describes your ambition. When it comes to your aspirations and also goals, you aim high. You can do anything if you focus your mind on it.

Destruction of the Moon

Dreaming that a massive asteroid or comet collides with the moon implies that there is a great deal of chaos in your life or that you are feeling out of control to the point of utter self destruction. You are giving up on  your intuition to guide you in the choices you are making in waking life.

Alien Life & Invasions

You may also sometimes have a dream of aliens invading on the moon, or seeing a spaceship or ufo flying in the sky. Looking at the dream meaning for aliens and spaceships can be helpful to understand more into what this dream may mean.


Dreams about the moon are quite significant to the dreamer’s waking life, so take the time to dig deep within your subconscious and current life situation if you happen to have this dream.

  25. I dreamt that I was outside and I saw the moon and the planets around it and I wanted to take a picture of it. What’s weird to me was that the moon was in the middle and the planets where around the moon. The planets started to move around the moon and that’s all I remember. It doesn’t really make sense to me.

      1. I dreamt of two moons, one white and a decorated one upon the white. Then the decorated one started moving coming down towards me. I alerted people and at twinkle of an eye it disappeared. What does it mean?

    1. I had a dream last night that I was looking at the moon and the moon was coming at earth at a high speed and barely missed and after the moon left it was day time??

  26. In my dream I saw that I was watching two moons from Window one was half moon and other was full and both were blur

  27. I found myself on barren type of land on the moon which is just like many parts of our mother earth. I was in between dried mud along with a little bit size of red stones.

      1. Same. I also dreamt of 2 moons in the sky. It was quite extraordinary because it was so clear and beautiful but that is the only thing I remember in that dream, nothing more.

  28. I’m had a dream I was bringing the washing in and my dad came out and said I’ll play a game of football with you if you get on the trampoline before me and then in the attempt to get on the trampoline I looked up to the moon which appeared huge – bugger than a house to look at and I asked my dad if he saw it and he said he never. I don’t know if this bit is any significance but before dad came out I was singing fly me to the moon ?

    1. That’s crazy. Last night I dreamt I was outside of my house and then looked up at the moon and it was there all normal. Then I saw another one that was big too. So I was amazed to see two full moons . And then at the corner of my eye fai fly towards the mountains an even bigger moon was there. But this one wasn’t shiny. I was really grey and I could see the craters on it. It was almost resting on the horizon but I could see it fully. So I pulled out my phone and started taking pictures of all of them and then the grey one started opening. It started going I to the cycles a normal moon does and after that it opened and all these thoughts came k to my head. I was excited but then I kinda got really anxious. I then tried to show everyone at home but I woke up. I don’t know what this meant but it was amazing to dream of it. I can only imagine the curiosity you have of your dream it sounds cool too.
