Compass
A compass in dreams often speaks to questions of direction when life feels uncertain—perhaps you're seeking true north in a season of confusion. When the needle wavers or points askew, the dream may be asking whether external guidance serves you, or whether your own inner knowing deserves more trust.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for compass, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of a compass, denotes you will be forced to struggle in narrow limits, thus making elevation more toilsome but fuller of honor.
To dream of the compass or mariner's needle, foretells you will be surrounded by prosperous circumstances and honest people will favor you.
To see one pointing awry, foretells threatened loss and deception.
