Shooting star
Hardly anything in a dream is as tied to wishing as a shooting star. When one crosses your dream sky, ask what you were hoping for at that moment, because the dream often holds a wish up to the light. Timing matters too: some chances come only to those who happen to be looking up. Its light is gone in a second, a reminder that good moments don't need to last long to count.
Also called: Falling star, Shooting stars, Wishing on a star

You're afraid of blinking at the wrong moment. Chances come around again more often than it seems.
Watching with someone you love
You share a hope with this person, even if neither of you has put it into words yet. Bring it up.
