Cloud in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A single cloud is read as a thought or mood passing over — light and white for daydreams, dark and heavy for worries gathering. Dream books note that clouds always move on, so the image rarely points to anything fixed. Floating on or among clouds is usually read as imagination, lightness or a wish to rise above everyday concerns. Dark clouds rolling in stand for tension or sadness building, while sunlight breaking through them is a classic sign of relief and hope. Shapes seen in clouds are linked to the mind searching for meaning. It can help to notice which kind of cloud fits your current mood.
