Blue Sturgeon Supermoon Approaches

Hold on tight, when August 19th’s Blue Sturgeon Supermoon graces our skies expect a celestial spectacle … along with some truly weird and wonderful dreams.

Some dismiss dreams as no more than random brain processing, while others see them as messages from the universe. Whatever you believe, when combined with the power of the blue moon, you can be sure that sturgeon moon dreams never lie. They are energetic windows into your subconscious that help you understand what’s going on in your waking life. 

Just as the sturgeon full moon illuminates the sky with its brilliance, dreams during this time are just as illuminating!

What is the Sturgeon Blue Moon and How Did It Get Its Name?

The Blue Sturgeon Supermoon is a triple threat - it's a Supermoon (appearing larger and brighter due to its proximity to Earth), a Blue Moon (the third full moon in a season with four), and the Sturgeon Moon of August. In 2024, it’s on August the 19th. 

August’s Full Moon is called the "Sturgeon Moon" because it coincides with the time of year when sturgeon, a large fish found in the Great Lakes and other North American waters, were abundant and easiest to catch. 

Calling August’s full moon a Sturgeon Moon comes from Native American tribes - the Algonquin people specifically - who used seasonal changes and celestial events to mark significant events.

As the full moon in August tied in with Surgeon season, that’s how it became known as the Sturgeon Full Moon. 

Decoding Your Dreams During The Sturgeon Moon

This powerful combination is said to amplify energies and emotions, potentially leading to more vivid and memorable dreams. The Sturgeon Moon itself symbolizes abundance, wisdom, and transformation - themes that might find their way into your nocturnal narratives.

So, as you drift off to sleep under the light of this extraordinary moon, pay extra attention to your dreams. They might just hold the key to unlocking your deepest desires and fears.

The thing about dreams is they're not literal. That steamy dream about your dentist? It doesn't mean you should make a move at your next check-up. Dreams speak in symbols, and understanding these symbols is crucial to unlocking their messages.

Think of your dreams as a personal movie directed by your subconscious. Every character, setting, and event is carefully chosen to represent something in your waking life. Your job is to figure out what these symbols mean for you.

10 Common Dream Meanings

Let's explore some of the most frequent dream themes and what they might signify. Remember, during any full moon, we dream more vividly, so trust your intuition when interpreting your dreams - you know yourself best.

1. Dreaming About Being Pregnant or Having a Baby

While this dream can literally represent a desire for children, it often symbolizes something new in your life. A budding relationship, a fresh start in your career, or a creative project you're nurturing - these can all manifest as pregnancy or baby dreams.

Sometimes, this dream suggests that your inner child needs some TLC.

2. Dreaming You’re Falling

Falling dreams often leave us waking with a start, heart pounding. They typically indicate feeling unsupported or out of control in your waking life. Your dream is urging you to take charge of a situation before it spirals.

However, pay attention to how you feel during the fall. If you're calm and relaxed, it might be a sign to trust the universe and go with the flow - much like the full moon effortlessly follows its full path as it transitions every month.

3. Dreaming About Flying

Flying dreams usually suggest you're seeing the bigger picture in your waking life. They can represent feelings of liberation or spiritual growth. Important is noticing how high you're flying - soaring at great heights might indicate spiritual ambitions, while flying closer to the ground could represent more earthly pursuits. 

Either way, like the Sturgeon Moon illuminating the night sky, dreams like this highlight your potential to rise above challenges.

4. Dreaming Your Teeth Are Falling Out

This common dream often relates to fears of aging or concerns about your appearance. However, it frequently symbolizes a fear of change. Teeth represent assertiveness, so losing them in a dream might suggest you need to speak up more in your waking life.

Consider the Sturgeon Moon's symbolism of transformation - perhaps this dream is pushing you towards necessary changes you've been resisting.

5. Dreaming About Sex or Cheating

Contrary to popular belief, sex dreams aren't usually about physical attraction. Instead, they represent a desire to connect with certain qualities the dream partner embodies. Maybe you admire their confidence or creativity?

If you're dreaming of cheating, don't panic. It's more likely about feeling guilty about something unrelated to your relationship. Like the Blue Moon's rarity, these dreams often highlight unique aspects of yourself you need to explore.

6. Dreaming You’re Being Chased

Chase dreams often represent avoiding something in your waking life. What are you running from? A confrontation? A decision? An emotion? The Sturgeon Moon encourages transformation - perhaps it's time to face what you've been avoiding.

7. Dreaming You’re Naked

Naked dreams typically relate to feelings of vulnerability or exposure. If you're embarrassed in the dream, you might be hiding your true self in waking life. But if you're comfortable with your dream nudity, it's a sign to embrace your authentic self.

Just as the full moon beams its light onto the world - illuminating what it casts its light on with full glare - dreaming that you're naked may be encouraging you to reveal your true nature.

8. Dreaming About Water, Swimming, or Drowning 

Water in dreams symbolizes emotions. Pay attention to the water's state - is it clear or murky? Are you swimming comfortably or drowning? These details spotlight what’s going on with your emotional state.

The Sturgeon Moon has a massive impact on tides. Just like the tide, dreaming about being in water might be a reminder to let your emotions ebb and flow a little more. If you're feeling overwhelmed, remember that you have the power to navigate your emotional waters.

9. Dreaming About Death 

While unsettling, death dreams aren't usually predictive. Instead, they symbolize endings and the need to let go. Every ending brings a new beginning - much like how the moon's phases constantly cycle.

These dreams might be highlighting a significant change in your life, urging you to embrace transformation and growth that this Sturgeon Moon brings. 

10. Dreaming You’re Late or Missing a Plane or Train 

These anxiety-inducing dreams often reflect a fear of missing out on opportunities. They might be telling you to step out of your comfort zone and seize the day. Just like the rarity of a Blue Moon, some opportunities don't come around often. Don't let them slip away!

Blue Moon Dreaming - What You Need To Do 

Understanding your dreams will boost your self-discovery. Here’s what dream experts recommend you should do to make the most of them - and remember, the Sturgeon Moon is intense, so what comes up has probably come up for a reason. 

Keep a dream journal 

Write down your dreams as soon as you wake up. Even if you can't remember the whole dream, jot down any fragments or emotions that are with you still. 

Look for patterns 

Do certain themes or symbols appear repeatedly in your dreams? These might be highlighting important issues in your life.

Consider what’s going on with your life 

Dreams often reflect our waking concerns. How might it relate to what's happening in your life right now?

Trust your intuition

When interpreting your dreams, go with what feels right to you. Your subconscious speaks your personal language.

Use the moon's energy

During full moons, especially powerful ones like the Blue Sturgeon Supermoon, set intentions for what you want to discover about yourself through your dreams.

As we bask in the light of the Blue Sturgeon Supermoon this August, remember that both the full moon and our dreams have the power to illuminate the hidden aspects of our lives. By paying attention to our dreams and decoding their symbolism, you’ll come closer to knowing your deepest self.
