Starfish at low tide

A starfish at low tide in a dream is the dream's image of a slow creature briefly made visible because the medium that hid it has stepped back. The starfish is not stranded; the tide will return. The dream brings the starfish when something in your life — a habit, a private process, a slow-moving relationship — is briefly exposed because the usual cover has drawn down. A starfish in a tidal pool, waiting without fuss for the water to come back, is the dream affirming that the visibility is temporary and the creature knows it. A starfish pried off the rock and carried away during the exposure is the dream noting that the temporary visibility was used by someone, and what the tide reveals is not always returned by the tide.
