The compass points to what does not move — the inner instrument of orientation. When it works, any territory can be crossed; when it spins, no map helps. The dream-compass is your value system: the needle of what you actually steer by.

Nuances
Steady needle: clear inner direction
Spinning compass: disorientation of values
Compass without map: direction without terrain knowledge
