Galaxy

Vastness that dwarfs the self

What it often means

A galaxy in a dream is immensity — countless lights, unfathomable scale, the self made small against the cosmos. It can stir awe or insignificance, a sense of being one point in something vast and beautiful. It often appears when the large questions of meaning and belonging are stirring.

When it tends to appear

  • When the large questions of meaning are stirring
  • When you feel small against something vast
  • When awe or insignificance is the dominant feeling

Sit with these questions

  1. 1

    Does the vastness make you feel insignificant, or held?

  2. 2

    What large question of meaning is asking for room?

  3. 3

    Where is your one point of light in the bigger picture?
