Climbing in a dream
Climbing in a dream is read in folk tradition as getting ahead, persistence and the road to a goal you have set.
According to old dream books, whoever climbs in a dream is moving forward in life. The dream is believed to show the effort you are putting in, with every yard covered a step closer to what you want. Easy climbing means things are going smoothly, and hard climbing that the goal is worth it and nobody gives up just below the summit. If you stopped along the way to rest, that is a good sign: in waking life, too, you may catch your breath before going on.
The most common dreams
Dreaming of climbing a mountain
By folk belief, going up a mountain means a big goal that you reach step by step. The view from the top is said to be worth every bit of the effort.
Dreaming of climbing a tree
The treetop is read as a wish to see farther and step back a little from the everyday. People say it brings a good idea or a welcome piece of news.
Dreaming of climbing a ladder
In folk lore a ladder is a sign of gradual progress. Every rung is one thing learned, so it is believed that a step up at work or school awaits you.
Dreaming of climbing a steep rock face
Steepness shows you have chosen the harder but more honorable road. Old folk believe that whoever does not look back down gets farther than they imagined.
These interpretations come from folk tradition and are meant for fun; they do not predict the future and are not advice for life decisions.
