Morning star
The bright planet visible just before sunrise — a single clear point of light in a still-dark sky.
A morning star in a dream is the dream's image of a single clear point of light in a still-dark sky. The star is in fact a planet; the moment is in fact the very beginning of dawn. The dream brings the morning star when something in your life — an early reliable sign, a first piece of good news after a long night, a guiding point — has appeared while most of the household is still asleep. A morning star noticed and used to orient by is the dream affirming the use of the early sign. A morning star unseen, the watcher having gone back to sleep before the hour, is the dream noting that the guidance was available and the discipline of being up for it was missing.
