Dream of a Shooting Star: What It Means
A shooting star streaking across the night sky means brief but powerful luck passing by.
At a glance
Traditional reading
A shooting star streaking across the night sky means brief but powerful luck passing by. A shooting star falling toward you meant meeting an unexpected opportunity or a benefactor, and in families hoping for a child, it was also seen as a taemong (in Korean tradition, a conception dream that foretells a baby).
Through the heart
A sense that there's an opportunity before you that you don't want to miss has appeared in the dream. It may be mixed with impatience to make your wish come true quickly.

Lucky dream Read as a dream announcing good things
Traditional readings lean toward this being a lucky dream, a sign of something coming in: good news, money or a welcome connection. If the mood of the dream was heavy or frightening, though, pay attention to that feeling first. Treat a lucky dream less as "fortune will arrive on its own" and more as "things go well if you move".
