Ceiling

Ceilings, Low ceiling, Cracked ceiling

Every room has an upper limit, and in a dream the ceiling often measures how much space you feel you have to grow. A high, airy ceiling feels like ambition and open possibility. A low ceiling that makes you duck is about limits, at work, at home or in your own expectations. Cracks or stains overhead can mean something unresolved is weighing on you from above. Staring up at the ceiling while lying still is often a dream about waiting for something to change.
