Rocket
A rocket is sudden ascent — the thing that climbs fast and far, leaving the ground and everything that held it. The older dream-books read the same arc: a steep rise, and the question of whether it holds its height or falls back. Where in waking life are you rising or pushing upward quickly — and is the pull toward what you're reaching for, or away from what you're leaving behind?
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for rocket, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To see a rocket ascending in your dream, foretells sudden and unexpected elevation, successful wooing, and faithful keeping of the marriage vows.
To see them falling, unhappy unions may be expected.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing rockets flying in the air, foretells joy and gladness at some event about to happen: to married people it denotes the birth of a child, or the marriage of a daughter if they have one old enough.
