Moon in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

The moon is the symbol of feeling, intuition and cycles. Dream tradition ties it to the mother, to the changing of moods, and to what is only half seen. A full moon is read as completion, emotional intensity and things brought to light; a new or crescent moon points to beginnings and quiet growth. A red or blood moon is linked to strong emotion and change, not to any literal event. A moon falling or disappearing stands for uncertainty about your inner compass. It can help to notice which cycle in your life is waxing or waning right now.
