Destiny
A shape your life seems to be pulling toward — pattern read as direction rather than coincidence.
Destiny in a dream is the dream's image of a shape your life seems to be pulling toward when read at the scale of years rather than days. Destiny is not prediction; it is the pattern noticed in retrospect that begins to be expected forward. The dream brings destiny when something in your life — a profession, a relationship, a place you keep returning to — has begun to look less like a series of choices and more like a line. A destiny acknowledged without pride is the dream telling you the pattern is real and is trustworthy. A destiny used to excuse current laziness — 'it will happen anyway' — is the dream noting that the pattern requires effort to be kept on, and the effort is currently being withdrawn.
