Astronaut

Astronauts, Cosmonaut, Space suit

Suiting up and heading beyond the sky, an astronaut captures the wish to go further than anyone around you has gone. You may dream of one when a bold step is near, or when your goals have outgrown your usual surroundings. Astronauts also train for years and depend on a whole team on the ground, so the dream may have as much to do with discipline and support as with adventure. Being chosen for a mission is a sign you feel equal to a big responsibility. A spacewalk, tethered to the ship, can mean you're trying something daring while still relying on a lifeline.
