Dreaming something is covering the sun
What does it mean to dream something unidentifiable blocks the sun?
Some reports involve the sun being blocked by something unidentifiable rather than by the moon, which dreams produce readily since there is no astronomy behind it.
The thing is never established. Dreamers describe a shape, an edge, or simply an absence of sun, and cannot say what it was.
That is the unrendered-object pattern arriving overhead: the dream needs the sun blocked and does not need a blocker, so it produces the effect and not the cause. The sunlight-with-no-source scenario is the same economy running the other way.
Nothing is ever identified, in the great majority of reports, because nothing was made.
Where this reads well
A clean instance of an effect generated without its cause, at the largest possible scale.
Where it is harder
An unidentified thing covering the sun is efficient at producing dread with no content.
Worth asking yourself
Could I make out what it was? Did I try to look? What shape was it?
Dream interpretation is subjective. Nothing here is a diagnosis, a prediction, or medical advice.
