An interpretation of mountain dreams

An interpretation of mountain dreams

This interpretation is from ""The Dream Interpretation Dictionary: Symbols, Signs, and Meanings" and is provided by J.M. DeBord aka "RadOwl". He is the author of several acclaimed books about dreaming, the host of The Dreams That Shape Us podcast, and is a moderator of r/Dreams, one of the largest dream sharing communities on the internet. A mountain in a dream can be a metaphor for a huge task, major difficulty, or long slog, as in the phrase “climbing a mountain.” This use of mountain symbolism will usually be accompanied by the action of climbing. See: Climbing Running up a mountain can symbolize having a lot of things to do, a “mountain of work.” Driving up a mountain can symbolize easily mastering something difficult, such as a subject or musical instrument. For example, a woman in a conservatory of music dreams about driving up a mountain and enjoying the sounds of the wind. Doing this symbolizes the way she “breezily” masters the most difficult subjects for music students. She’s highly talented and has deep understanding of music and music theory. Climbing a mountain can symbolize taking on a challenge that requires effort over a period of time, such as starting a business, getting through college, regaining your health after a bad illness, or establishing a close relationship. For example, a woman dreams that she climbs a mountain and reaches the top. There she finds a red sports car waiting for her—it looks like one her father used to own. She hops in, ready to drive away, but the keys are missing. Climbing the mountain symbolizes getting through college. The sports car symbolizes the “revved up” career she expects to have, and the association with her father connects with the success he’s had as a professional. She expects to have similar success in her career. But it doesn’t start the way she expects. She graduates from college and can’t find the job she wants. Climbing a mountain can mean you will go to any length to get your way or accomplish something. Mountain climbers are among the most determined sorts of people. Mountains are generally sparsely populated and can symbolize isolation, tranquility, and emotional space. For example, a man dreams about climbing halfway up a mountain to the cave of an old wise man. They don’t talk. Instead, they just sit in each other’s presence and meditate. The mountain and cave symbolize isolation, which the man chooses for himself because he prefers it. The old wise man is a projection of him. Mountains are also dangerous, and can be associated with taking risks, or dangerous lifestyles. A mountain can symbolize an immovable person or obstacle.
