Dreaming of a Mountain

mountain, peak, summit · fairly positive, with effort

A mountain is about climbing: green slopes promise success, rugged ones obstacles you must overcome.

What happens in the dream

  • You climb a green mountain by a pleasant path: a swift rise to wealth and standing
  • You reach the top: success in your undertakings, honours and money
  • The mountain is steep and rocky: difficulties that energy can overcome
  • You wake at a dangerous point of the climb: things will take a good turn just when they look bleak
  • You fail to reach the top: setbacks, and a need to work on your weaknesses
  • You cross a mountain with relatives, among them a smiling loved one who has died: a change for the better, but beware of false friends
  • You tire and refuse to go on: a slight disappointment about the position you hoped for

How you felt

  • Ambition: the dream often reflects your wish to move forward
  • Apprehension: it may show how much effort a goal is asking of you

Ask yourself

  • Which summit am I climbing right now?
  • Do I have the strength for it, or do I need a rest?
