Spiritual Meaning: When we are trying to find direction, and
overcome our own spiritual limitations and boundaries, we will
dream of a compass.  Psychological / Emotional Perspective:
Often having the same significance as the circle, the compass
can represent the source of life, or sometimes justice.
Instinctively, compass directions suggest certain states of
being such as north suggesting coldness and south suggesting
warmth.  Everyday Material Aspects: Dreaming of a compass is
often an attempt to find a new direction or activity. We need to
be able to understand the differing opportunities offered to us,
and to follow the one that is right for us.  Gender / Specific
Meanings: In magical work the compass is used to help define the
four most powerful directions. In both men’s and women’s dreams
a compass may suggest the search for magical power.  You might
