Dreaming of moth
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of A moth arriving at the lamp foretells a small visitation by night, word or a guest, a matter that turns once you rise and attend it.
Drawn down, it warns of Moths in the cloth and the stores predict slow damage to belongings, loss not by theft but by neglect, look into the chests you have not opened.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The moth is the night-psyche drawn toward light, the part of you that longs for consciousness even when the approach costs something. Following the moth means a hunger for understanding is leading you out of a long dark, wing-dust and all.
Drawn down, it warns of A moth circling the flame too close is longing become self-destruction, returning again and again to what burns because it is bright. The light you orbit is not the only light there is.
