Psychology
A space station is far from Earth yet close-quartered with a few crewmates. The dream may reflect a wish to step back and see the big picture, or relationships within a closed group. Gazing at Earth may express a wish to see your worries as smaller.
Folklore and history
The International Space Station is a crewed facility run by several nations, including Japan's Kibo module. Many astronauts describe seeing Earth from outside as a powerful sense of one planet without borders.

Going deeper: our reading
On a space station objects float away, so tools, food and even your own body must be fastened down. The International Space Station circles Earth in roughly ninety minutes, so crews are said to see many sunrises and sunsets each day. In this site's reading, people who dream of a space station are working out, on unsteady ground, what to hold onto and what they can let go. The scene matters. A treasured item drifting away suggests fear of losing what you do not grip tightly. Watching sunrise after sunrise from the window reflects a period of rapid change with many fresh starts. Sleeping strapped into a cramped bunk may show the heart seeking ways to rest within limits. This is our speculation, but enjoying the floating sensation expresses a wish to be freed from burdens.
What to do on waking
Look up at the night sky before bed, and reach out briefly to someone you have not heard from. Distance does not cut the signal.
