Shooting star in a dream: meaning

What dream books say

A shooting star is traditionally the moment to make a wish, so it is read as hope, longing and a brief bright opening. It also speaks of beauty that is gone as soon as it is seen. Making a wish on one in a dream is usually read as a desire you are finally admitting to yourself. Seeing many fall at once is linked to excitement, inspiration and a sense of possibility, while one burning out is sometimes read as a fleeting chance or a moment that slipped by. Sharing the sight with someone points to a common hope. It can help to ask what wish has been on your mind.
