Constellation
A named pattern in the stars — a shape read by humans into points that have no inherent order.
A constellation in a dream is the dream's image of a shape read by humans into points that have no inherent order. The stars in a constellation are not actually close to each other; the pattern is a human achievement. The dream brings the constellation when something in your life — a story told about a series of unrelated events, a biography assembled from random encounters, a philosophical pattern — is being made by your own act of naming. A constellation traced with care is the dream affirming that the pattern is useful and is honestly named. A constellation insisted upon where no other observer can see it is the dream noting that the shape is private to you, and the claim that it is in the sky is a claim about your own seeing rather than about the sky.
