What does orbit mean in dreams?
1. The traditional interpretation

A dream about orbiting a planet signifies feelings of being stuck in a cycle or routine. What orbit means in your dream may be more nuanced.
You may feel like you're going in circles and not making progress.
It can also represent a desire for exploration and discovery, suggesting you're ready for new experiences. Seeing something else in orbit, by contrast, could indicate that you feel detached or distant from a situation or relationship in your waking life. It might also symbolize feelings of insignificance or being overwhelmed by something larger than yourself.
Orbit is deep and multifaceted dream symbol to interpret with any certainty. To really say confidently, it's really necessary to really get to know the dreamer's life story and current mindset.
2. The psychoanalyst's interpretation

Dreaming of orbiting a planet may be an unconscious manifestation of your superego's attempt to gain a broader perspective on your life, a Freudian concept known as 'sublimation'.
Some additional thoughts on this: It suggests a yearning for transcendence and a break from the constraints of your id and ego. Witnessing something else in orbit, however, might signify the projection of your own feelings of being caught in the gravitational pull of a powerful other, or a situation, reflecting a sense of helplessness or lack of control. This could be a manifestation of the Freudian concept of 'transference', where emotions and desires originally associated with one person are unconsciously redirected to another.
3. The spiritualist's interpretation

Dreaming of orbiting a planet can be a spiritual symbol of your soul's journey, reflecting your path of growth and evolution. It suggests you're in a phase of self-discovery and spiritual enlightenment, circling around life's profound truths. This dream can also indicate a sense of detachment, as if you're observing life from a higher perspective, a sign of spiritual awakening. Witnessing something else in orbit, however, may symbolize external influences that are revolving around your life. It could represent feelings of being overwhelmed by these influences, or it might signify your spiritual awareness of the interconnectedness of all things, reminding you that we are all part of a larger cosmic dance.
