Interpretation 5 — James R. Lewis and Evelyn Dorothy Oliver
The sun is often taken to represent the conscious, rational self and the moon, the subconscious, emotional self. Their union in an eclipse may signify a coming together of separate parts of oneself (self-integration). It may also stand for the “eclipsing” of reason or consciousness by emotion or the subconscious (in a solar eclipse), or vice versa (in a lunar eclipse). We sometimes speak of being “eclipsed,” and this may also be the meaning of a dream about eclipses.

Interpretation 6 — Dream Explanations - Anonymous
Dreams of an eclipse symbolize humility, -sabotage and/or the fear of success. Your dream is bringing you to the awareness that you’ve been covering up your light, for fear that people will discover how truly bright you are. You’ve been playing small in order to fit in, and your subconscious mind is giving you the message that it is time for you to release your fears of success because this world needs your light.

Interpretation 8 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
During an eclipse in the solar system, one body blocks the light coming from another body, most notably the moon blocking the light of the sun or the earth blocking the light of the moon. An eclipse is therefore the symbolic blocking of any light, where the light is a metaphor for consciousness, ideas, or life force. Eclipses were once thought to be omens of important things to come.
