A good omen of success and attention ahead; but if it blinds you, expectations or pressure may be too heavy.

Psychology
A dazzling sun reflects your strength at its fullest or a sense that attention is coming. But squinting against it may mean you feel unable to live up to expectations, or that someone looms too large to face directly. Whether the light felt warm divides the readings.
Folklore and history
The Japanese saying "the sun is watching" casts the sun as a witness to one's deeds, and Amaterasu, ancestral deity of the imperial line, is a sun goddess. Dazzling light joins holiness and awe, so dream readers see it as a sign effort will be recognized, and a caution against pride.

This site's view
In this site's view, notice what the glare hid. Losing sight of your feet means rushing toward success while missing today's tasks. Losing sight of a companion's face may mean your heart senses someone drifting as you step into the light. A deep shadow at your feet means the unseen self grows as strongly as the light.
Going deeper: our reading
Under a dazzling sun people shade their eyes with a hand or tilt down a hat brim. In this site's reading, how you dealt with the glare shows how you handle expectation and attention. Shading your eyes yet still looking up suggests you feel the pressure but face the light rather than flee it. Softening the glare with sunglasses or a hat shows you have learned to balance others' expectations. Retreating into shade reveals a strong wish to step out of the spotlight and rest. A figure silhouetted against the light may mean you cannot yet see the true expression of someone you admire or rely on. A field of sunflowers all facing the sun suggests both comfort and a little suffocation in facing the same way. This is our speculation, but the dream may come before a promotion or presentation, when joy and nerves rise together.

Turning a bad dream
In Japan, people once tried to turn a worrying dream for the better: a baku charm under the pillow, telling the dream to a nandina bush, or reciting an old dream-turning poem. Read the column on dream trading and dream-turning
A COB work light you can bend to stand on its own or stick to a metal surface with its base magnet — mount it on a handrail, pipe, or car hood inside a ruin for hands-free lighting. It tilts through 270° and dims smoothly via a dial.
