A Meteor Shower — Dream Meaning
A meteor shower fills the night sky with streaks of light, dozens of shooting stars at once. In dreams it usually brings a sense of wonder, possibility, and a flood of hopes or ideas, and it is one of the more uplifting images the sky can offer.
Watching a meteor shower in awe can reflect inspiration, optimism and feeling connected to something larger than yourself. It may mark an exciting period of change, or a wish for one.
Making wishes on the falling stars links to hope and desire; notice what you wished for, because it may name something you have been reluctant to admit. See shooting star.
Meteors hitting the ground can turn wonder into fear, a sense that many things are happening at once, or that events are beyond your control. It links to apocalypse dreams, though a gentle version may only reflect a busy, overwhelming week.
Watching with someone suggests a special, shared moment, often romantic or deeply bonding. Who stood beside you tells you where the closeness lies.
Missing the shower, because of cloud or looking the wrong way, may reflect fear of missing an opportunity.
Lying in a field or on a hillside to watch brings stillness and perspective, and can reflect a need to step away from the noise and look up.
Trying to count the meteors may mirror feeling flooded with options or ideas and unsure which to follow.
Meteor showers are brief and spectacular, so they can also remind you to appreciate fleeting moments. People in many parts of the world have gathered on dark nights to watch them, and the habit of wishing on a shooting star is a widely shared folk tradition rather than anything more.
