Shooting star

A meteor crossing the sky — a brief, bright passage that requires the watcher to be looking at the right time.

A shooting star in a dream is the dream's image of a brief, bright passage that requires the watcher to be looking at the right time. The meteor does not wait; the moment is its own. The dream brings the shooting star when something in your life — a chance, a glimpse of a possibility, a moment of insight — has just crossed and either was caught or was not. A shooting star seen and silently wished on is the dream affirming that the moment was used as the tradition would have it. A shooting star reported to you by someone else, with your own eyes missing it, is the dream noting that the brief passage arrived and you were looking the other way.
