Dreaming of an alien invasion in the sky 

I've had this dream a few times in my life, the contents of which are all quite similar, each time I notice that there are lights in the sky and then more arrive and I notice a huge mother ship as well. In my recent dream I saw stars in the shape of a huge crab, and knew that this was a sign of something, I can only presume that either the crab nebular or the star constellation of cancer had something to do with the symbolism regards an invasion or celestial occurrence. I am not waiting for an alien invasion and although I assume there must be some kind of life out there I am not necessarily preoccupied with the idea of aliens and motherships. Why have I had this recurring dream throughout my life and why this time did I see a giant crab made out of stars? 

Recurring themes in our dreams happen to remind us of recurring themes within our life, so they often happen at times when similar themes are playing out, or when we are revisiting emotions or circumstances that we have encountered before.

In this case it could be the enormity of situations which seem out of your control or guided by the heavens. Aliens are quite often used to represent the unknown, personalities or circumstances that you are not used to dealing with, but you can use your previous experiences to help you deal with new obstacles or themes as they play out. Remember 'You have done this before' it might not be exactly the same this time, just like when recurring dreams change slightly but you still have those needed skills to negotiate any situation you might face. 

An Alien invasion can be likened to an unknown outside force forcing their will over you and taking over your life, for example an illness that takes over and seems to dominate, the aliens are the germs and viruses invading your immune system, or the aliens can be people invading your space. 

The mother ship can be viewed as the source or the controlling mother type where the design of your life seems to emanate from. This can help you understand that you give up control of all your experiences to a higher power, maybe you feel like things just happen to you rather than you having control over what happens to you. 

All of these dream symbols point to your own feelings of powerlessness and of not having control over your own situations or the other people in those situations with you. 

The crab sign as you mentioned could be a symbol of someone with the star sign of cancer, it could also be a literal translation and represent the illness of cancer, not necessarily with yourself but with someone else near to you. Which in itself could would help to explain the helplessness and lack of control over circumstances. 

The star sign of cancer falls in June/July and as the crab you saw in your dream was made form stars it might be pointing you towards this time in the year.
