Dreaming of a Telescope

telescope, binoculars, lens · mixed

A telescope is about looking far ahead: travel, news from afar and ambition, but also an uncertain season.

What happens in the dream

  • You see a telescope: an unsettled time in love, at home and in business
  • You look at the stars: delightful journeys that cost you later, or a rise in the world
  • You gaze at the moon with delight: great wealth
  • You look out over farmland: you'll buy or inherit land
  • You look at a distant object: a letter from a friend far away
  • A broken or unused telescope: unusual trouble ahead

How you felt

  • Longing: perhaps a wish to see beyond everyday life
  • Distance: a sense that what you want is still out of reach

Ask yourself

  • What am I watching from afar without daring to approach?
  • Have I lost sight of what's right next to me?
