Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
A dream about the time of dusk often hints at transitions, endings, or the close of a chapter in your life. But keep in mind that dusk can be a somewhat nuanced dream-concept.
It can indicate a time of introspection and reflection, as you prepare for a new beginning. If you experience something significant during dusk in your dream, it may suggest that you are about to undergo a major change or transformation. This significant event could be a metaphor for the changes that are about to take place in your waking life. Remember, dusk is a time of day when the light fades, but it's also a precursor to a new dawn.
Dusk can often be a complex and fascinating dream experience to to give you a single interpretation of. To really know confidently, I'd need to get an understanding of the dreamer's past and current situation.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Psychoanalyst,
Contributor: "3 of Dreams Book of Dreams"
Dreaming of dusk, in Freudian terms, could be a manifestation of the subconscious grappling with the concept of the "twilight" of one's life, a metaphorical dusk.
Taking that analysis a bit deeper... It may be a representation of an internal struggle with aging or mortality. Experiencing something significant during dusk in a dream could be a projection of latent anxieties or unresolved issues that need to be addressed before one can move into the next phase of life. This significant event could symbolize a need for closure or acceptance. The fading light of dusk in a dream may also be an embodiment of the psychoanalytic concept of repression, where certain thoughts or feelings are pushed out of conscious awareness, but emerge in the transitional state of dreams.0

Dreaming of dusk signifies the spiritual realm's message of transition and transformation. It's a divine nudge towards self-reflection and introspection, a spiritual call to prepare for a new dawn. If you've dreamt of a significant event occurring at dusk, it's a spiritual signpost indicating a profound shift or transformation in your life journey. This event is a spiritual metaphor, a divine message, hinting at the impending changes in your waking life. Dusk, the fading light, is a spiritual symbol of the old making way for the new, a gentle reminder that every ending is a new beginning in disguise. It's a spiritual call to embrace change, to let go of the old, and to welcome the new dawn with open arms.
