Dreaming of Heaven
heaven, afterlife · mixed
Heaven promises grandeur and serenity, but also joys that don't last.
What happens in the dream
- You climb to heaven on a ladder: a remarkable rise, but without much contentment
- You are in heaven: grandeur and glory
- You ascend to heaven: you won't enjoy the distinction you worked for, and joy will end in sadness
- The Heavenly City: a contented, spiritual nature that trouble will barely touch
- You meet loved ones in heaven: losses that you'll come to terms with wisely
How you felt
- A need for peace: the dream often reflects a search for calm or meaning
- Longing: departed loved ones may be on your mind
Ask yourself
- What gives me a deep sense of peace?
- Will the success I'm aiming for actually make me happy?
