「Hoping for sunshine」when needing to DRY OUT something by PLACING IN SUNSHINE. Perhaps hoping for sunshine at dawn, although sometimes we may wish for the 'moment of the clouds and the rain' instead. Frankly, dawn is not the best time of the day to attempt drying something in the sunshine as there is very little direct sunlight at dawn…「Hoping for tonguing mouth」seems to have been customary at dawn among early humans. What is significant with this glyph is the fact that in order TO DRY OUT or DRY OFF, something first must have been made wet:「tonguing something in a mouth with weaving in and out motions and hand on rod in spread legs, or, array of head sliding with rod in spread legs」covers some of the various possibilities. See many of the similar glyphs that refer to a tonguing mouth at dawn and the NEED TO DRY OFF.

Modern definitions (that generally disregard history) …excluding politically incorrect concepts and other meanings deemed offensive today; may list only pigeonholed definitions, euphemisms, or meaningless mnemonics)
Chinese: dawn; to dry in the sun
Unihan extended: dry, expose sun; dawn
EDRDG: dry out; expose to the sun

Always keep in mind that these glyphs were originally created by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles and analogies for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that) and represented Chinese society many thousands of years ago, and not as a written or spoken language. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system. Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is! Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? And now, there is a cover-up. No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how bad the human world is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or they could only have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any dictionary. This site explains the dual meanings of glyphs most often ignored by other sources that provide you with only the sanctioned definition, generally.
