A compass represents guidance, direction and the inner sense of what is true for you. A working compass signals that you still have a reliable sense of your own direction, even when the terrain is unfamiliar. A spinning or broken compass points to confusion and a loss of inner bearings. Using a compass suggests a willingness to orient yourself deliberately. This dream asks you to reconnect with your internal sense of purpose, and to trust that you carry a way of finding north even in the midst of uncertainty.
