What does dreaming about darkness mean in the Bible?

Darkness in dreams often carries fear, confusion, or a hidden threat. Scripture does not deny the dark — it declares that darkness cannot overcome the light, and that even night is bright as day to God. A dark dream is an invitation to bring what feels obscure or frightening into His sight. In the SoulGuide Dream Guide, darkness is filed under nature — one of 54 symbols in the guide — and is answered with 3 King James Version passages quoted in full: Psalms 139:12, John 1:5, Isaiah 9:2. Each passage below carries a short note explaining why it applies to darkness, so the entry can be read on its own without the rest of the guide.

“Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.”

“The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.”
