DREAM ABOUT PLANETS
Did you have a dream about planets? Learning the meaning of the planets in our dreams can be helpful in understanding current events happening in our lives.
What does it mean to dream of planets?
In general, seeing planets in space brings to light the desire for greater wisdom and knowledge of the “big picture.” Often when planets appear in our dreams it is a sign to truly open up to the deeper meaning of life. Your mind is opening to what your soul has been yearning for.
Here are some common themes we may associate with seeing planets in our dreams.
- Looking at the big picture: Are you looking at life through the lens of the universe? Wondering how we can all be connected?
- Exploring Possibilities – Seeing planets from a distance in a dream can mean that you are wanting to explore new possibilities. This is especially true if you dream of a UFO or other spacecraft.
- Cosmic connection : We can often dream of outer space because we seek the connection with our cosmic and spiritual origins. It may be worth doing some dream work to explore these cosmic connections to better understand what your spiritual goals and callings might be in this current lifetime.
- Being out of this world: Sometimes dreaming about planets and space can mean that you don’t feel like you belong completely. You may feel like an outsider or a misfit in your current social circle. You may feel that they do not understand you.
- Dreaming of a planet of enormous importance: This dream further reminds us that as big as the universe is, we have our own destiny to live out and the daily choices we make profoundly impact that destiny. The planets are gigantic in size, so it can be a symbol of importance. Think about the impact you can have on others, or something that impacts you. There are many ways to identify which of these meanings are most relevant to you in the dream. Journaling, praying, or meditating can sometimes help you understand what these dreams might mean.

Common dreams and dream meanings for the planets and space
Dreaming of life on another planet
If you dream that there is life on another planet, it could mean that you are exploring different possibilities and opportunities in your life. Just as there may be other worlds, universes, and planets with different types of life forms, there are MANY different types of life that you can live on this planet Earth as a human! Many times this can mean that you are exploring different career options, relationships, or even where to live. If you’re thinking about making a big break, this is likely how these thoughts manifest in your dreams.
floating around the planets
Many of us experience dreams where we are floating. Floating in a dream in outer space can mean that you are flowing freely in your life and looking for new opportunities. Floating can also sometimes mean that you feel detached from what is going on around you. Do you currently feel groundless? Sometimes this floating symbol can mean that you need to find a way to come to terms with the current challenges in your life in order to successfully find a positive outcome.
touch a planet
Dreaming of almost touching or touching a planet can sometimes be symbolic of goals and how you feel about reaching them. If you are able to successfully reach and touch a large giant object floating in space, there is a good chance that you will be able to accomplish anything you set your mind to. The sky is not even the limit for you. Sometimes this symbol can also mean that you are aware of your own limitations and abilities. It can be a gentle message in your dreams to stay on task and remind yourself to stay grounded.
Do the planets speak to us?
Many people believe that it is possible to receive messages from the planets and communicate with the spirits of the stars and even the planet Earth. Although of course this is not something that we can prove scientifically and it may not sound very logical, it is possible to tune in to the energy of a planet. When you connect with the energy of the planet, it is very possible to receive feelings of emotions, thoughts and guidance. Many people are able to listen carefully to the needs of Mother Earth and speak to the spirit of our own planet Earth that we live on.
