Dreaming of the West

The West is the direction where the sun sets. It carries meanings of loss and aging.

In mythology, the West symbolizes a pure land of bliss, and dreaming of the West may also signify a longing for unexplored territories.

According to dream interpretation in the Book of Changes (I Ching),

the West represents death or reduction, indicating the end of a particular phase in your life.

The West symbolizes the descent of conscious self (the sun) into the subconscious.

Thus, this dream should be regarded as an invitation to familiarize yourself with the subconscious.

The West represents intuition, the way the subconscious acquires knowledge.

If in the dream, the West does not refer to the Western world or Western culture, it symbolizes reason or alienation from nature.
