Dreaming About Mist
What it means
Soft mist can mirror a season of not-knowing, where the path ahead is unclear but not necessarily unsafe.
In more detail
Unlike a heavy fog that hides everything, a light mist softens edges while still letting you move. It often appears when you are between certainties, waiting for things to come into view. Did the mist feel peaceful or disorienting? That tone is what to hold gently. The dream tends to honor the in-between rather than predict what will eventually emerge from it.
