I have a question for ppl who know a lot about Mesopotamian astrology/history: what was "the Great Star"? Was it a star? Venus?

I'm interested because of this dream where king Nabonidus (555-539 bce) is visited by deceased king Nebuchadnezzar II

In the dream Nebuchadnezzar interprets a different dream (all inception-like), but there's also a depiction of, "an astronomical omen involving the moon, Jupiter, and 'the Great Star'"

p48 Dreams: A Reader on Religious, Cultural, and Psychological Dimensions of Dreaming

I now NEED to know more about:
a. Jupiter, the Moon, and the Great Star in Mesopotamian astrology
b. The presence of astronomical omens in dreams throughout history
c. If there are correlations in the sky at the time of the dream of the particular celestial bodies

Last night I rambled a bit about my own experiences with astrology and dreaming of the planets in this thread:

Here's another example from my dream journal archives:

In 2003 I had a dream that I was outside looking at the planet Jupiter. I don't know the time I woke up from the dream, but the chart for it is super interesting.

Lookit that Sagittarius (Jupiter-ruled) stellium! In a t-square with JUPITER and Mars in Pisces (Jupiter-ruled)

That's about as literal as the time I dreamed of being on Mars when Mars was actually transiting conjunct my natal Sun.
