The New Moon

The interpretation of dreams is the royal road to a knowledge of the unconscious activities of the mind. — Sigmund Freud

This is a dream I had early last week. In my dream NASA has discovered a tiny new moon that is in orbit around earth’s moon. I am an astronaut in the space program who has been assigned to land on and explore this new moon.

It’s quite amazing no one had observed it before, but it has some unusual characteristics. First, it doesn’t seem to reflect light.

Another unusual feature is that it is only 17 miles in circumference, a super tiny heavenly body.

I am in a small one man lander and as I get close it seems to be very bright on the one side and I have to shield my eyes. Upon impact I awake.

Interpretation

As is often the case in dreams, something we recently saw or experienced appears in our dreams. It’s like our waking experiences become fodder for our subconscious. Hence, it seems that the movie Ad Astra, which I’d seen recently, was the initial catalyst for this outer space theme.

The second item that I find noteworthy is the numeral 17. Why 17 miles in circumference?
