Stairs
Staircase, Stairway, Steps
Climbing up, step by step, is one of the clearest dream pictures of progress. Going up a staircase often matches a rise in confidence, skill or position, while going down leads back to basics, to old memories or to feelings you've set aside. Steep, endless or broken stairs turn up when a goal feels hard to reach right now. Notice the pace too: running up two at a time shows eagerness, while slow, careful steps are steady and sure.
Dream variations
