Wounded Astronaut in dreams
A traveller into outside space — a person who has been where the body was never meant to go.
How wounded changes the reading
The base reading of Astronaut
An astronaut in a dream is the dream's image of a traveller into outside space — a person who has been, in body, where the body was never designed to be. The astronaut returns with a perspective that does not translate well to people who never left. The dream brings the astronaut when something in your life has taken you to a vantage point — through study, through loss, through unusual work — that has changed the scale you see at, and bringing the scale back into ordinary conversation is hard. An astronaut returned calmly to earth is the dream telling you the reintegration is in progress. An astronaut who cannot land is the dream noting that the perspective has stranded you above your own life.
