Star
A single star is a fixed point in the dark — guidance, a wish, the one thing you steer by when everything else is unlit. Where a whole sky of stars speaks of vastness or fate, one star narrows to a single hope or person you've set your course toward. Is it still shining clearly, or has it dulled?

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for star, 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 looking upon clear, shining stars, foretells good health and prosperity. If they are dull or red, there is trouble and misfortune ahead.
To see a shooting or falling star, denotes sadness and grief.
To see stars appearing and vanishing mysteriously, there will be some strange changes and happenings in your near future.
If you dream that a star falls on you, there will be a bereavement in your family.
To see them rolling around on the earth, is a sign of formidable danger and trying times.
Fontaine, 1862
To dream of seeing multitudes of bright stars in a clear sky, is a sign (to a lady) that she will have a great many children, and troops of good friends: to a man of business, such a dream denotes as many customers as he sees stars in a clear sky.
