Descending

Going down in a dream can show how you are attempting to go below the surface of consciousness into the subconscious/unconscious. This type of dream can also be a message about getting grounded or how life is circular and not always about upward growth. In some cases you may need to go back, or step down in order to continue on your upward journey. See Placement and Perspective; and also, Floors under Houses and Buildings.

Descending a mountain, a hill or an elevation in a dream represents losses, migraine headache, humiliation, passing from a higher to a lower condition, separation between husband and wife, losing one’s job, demo¬ tion, degradation, abandoning one’s religion, or it could mean adversities in general. Descending a steep slope in a dream also means safe landing, worldly blessings and nomination for a religious duty. Descending from a mountain in a dream means relief from adversities or change in one’s conditions. Coming down from an old ladder in a dream means investing in a business to earn nothing from one’s efforts. If the ladder breaks half-way through in the dream, it means losing to one’s adversary.
