Dreaming of a Tower

tower, skyscraper, turret · mostly positive

A tower is about ambition and rising up: climbing it promises success, seeing it crumble, disappointment.

What happens in the dream

  • You look out over a lovely landscape from the top: you'll gain land, by purchase or inheritance
  • You look out over the sea: a sea voyage that makes you rich
  • You see a tower: you'll aim high
  • You climb it: your wishes will come true
  • It crumbles as you come down: dashed hopes
  • Birds circle the tower: as many troubles as there are birds

How you felt

  • Ambition: a wish to rise above
  • Isolation: feeling alone at the top

Ask yourself

  • How high do I want to climb?
  • Are my foundations strong enough for my ambitions?
