Shadow Dream Meaning and Dream Interpretation

To dream about Shadow explained:

Are you seeing aspects of your personality that used to be invisible? Dreaming of a shadow reflects mainly on the dreamer and suggests your darker side. Where are you when you saw the shadow and how did you feel?

The presence of a shadow or silhouette of a person in a window in your dream portends a mysterious or strange event you are about to experience soon. The nature of the event is unclear, so it could either be positive or negative. Your reaction upon seeing the shadow may give you a clue as to what to expect about this upcoming occurrence. Perhaps your mind is merely preparing you for something unexpected so you can manage your reactions and temper your emotions.

Seeing a shadowy entity that attacks you and even manages to kill you in multiple dreams is a powerful portent. The unrecognizable face cloaked in shadows that haunts your dreams could represent a rift in your beliefs. It is possible that some recent events in your life managed to shock you to the very core. While before you may have only seen life in terms of black and white, nowadays fear and uncertainty make you doubt what would have otherwise been a fact of life. Until you come to terms with the changes in your life, you may keep experiencing these nightmarish apparitions. Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek professional help.

Closet doors in a dream tend to symbolically represent separation between two important aspects. In this case, your soul or faith seems to be what is experiencing this split. The shadow moving on top of you is often interpreted as the manifestation of dual realities within you, meaning you may ideologically think and believe one way, but these desires to be seen as good are perhaps distorted by selfish behavior or thoughtless actions. Until you can meld the two halves together, it may be difficult to find peace within yourself.

Symbolically, a shadow represents a continuation or extension of the dreamer's self. Based on your description, it could be that you always rely solely and exclusively on your own abilities, aspects of personality and wits during problematic situations or when serious issues emerge. The evil creatures could be a subconscious projection of your unwillingness to accept help and support offered by other people because you feel there could be more damage than good if you allow them to step in or learn too much sensitive information about a particular issue you face.
