Dreams of deep space and interstellar travel. Dreams about long space voyages may have parallels with some astral dreams and dreams of life-paths; they may be about long-term spiritual progress.

Also listed here: dreams of space ships and programs. Such dreams can have several layers of meaning

1. Literal--your feelings about current space exploration, its politics and economics. A waste of money better spent on earth, or an essential baby step into the universe?
2. Anticipatory--your feelings about a future in which civilization becomes interplanetary--which involves as much social change as the present shift from tribal to global civilization.
3. Metaphorical--your feelings about your own deepest, wildest, "spaciest" ambitions--reaching for the sky! These vary from dreamer to dreamer, but the idealism underlying the image may be universal .
