Telescope

A telescope in a dream is the dream's image of sight extended past the unaided eye. The telescope does not invent what it sees; it makes available what was always there and too far for ordinary vision. The dream brings the telescope when something in your life — a long-term plan, a distant person, an outcome years away — needs to be looked at with an aid that brings the distance into useful focus. A telescope pointed steadily and the image held is the dream affirming the long sight. A telescope shaken by an unsteady hand, the image blurring, is the dream noting that the instrument is good and the support for it is not, and the far thing remains effectively out of reach.
