娱乐性解釋/意思:
To dream of a telescope, portends unfavorable seasons for love and domestic affairs, and business will be changeable and uncertain. To look at planets and stars through one, portends for you journeys which will afford you much pleasure, but later cause you much financial loss. To see a broken telescope, or one not in use, signifies that matters will go out of the ordinary with you, and trouble may be expected.
