Success
Being successful, Achieving a goal, Making it big
Dreams of success come in many shapes: a packed concert hall, a finished house, a business with your name on the door or a quiet sense that everything finally worked. The picture your mind chose is worth studying, because it shows what success truly looks like to you, which may differ from what others expect. Feeling proud and settled suggests the path you're on fits you well. If success felt strangely empty, a goal you've been chasing may no longer fit the person you've become.
Dream variations

- Being afraid of successReaching a goal would change your life in ways you can't control. Picture those changes one by one; most of them are manageable.
