Leaving Earth / ascending away

Interpretation

Transcendence of the earthly — departing the home planet, ascending beyond the ordinary, leaving the material and physical realm behind. To leave Earth in a dream is to move beyond the domain of ordinary existence: what was home is now below, behind, and the vast beyond is ahead. Something transcendent is pulling you away from what has been home.

Earth — Interpretation

To dream of the Earth as a planet — as the blue sphere seen from space — is to see your home from the outside, to comprehend it as a whole. This is the perspective that was not available to any human being before the twentieth century. In dreams, the Earth seen from above represents the widest possible perspective on ordinary life: the view from beyond the personal, the comprehension of the whole.

💡 Advice

The Earth in your dream is your home seen from the perspective it deserves — the whole, beautiful, finite, and extraordinarily precious sphere that is the source and ground of all ordinary life. The most basic response this dream calls for is a return to the recognition of what you actually stand on: the planet, the ground, the home. How do you stand on it? How do you treat it? And can you see it whole?
