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.
