Discover the dream symbol interpretation and spiritual meaning

Western/Modern

Being at a high level of a place in your dream means that you have attained your greatest aspirations in life. Unfortunately when heights emerge they often terrify the dreamer fearing not to slip or fall to the ground. These images are profound symbol encouraging the dreamer to become grounded, secure, confident and protected on your life’s journey.

Islamic (Ibn Sirin)

To see oneself taller than usual in a dream means increase in knowledge and wealth. If a man of authority sees that, it means expansion of his power. If he is a merchant, it means business prosperity. If one sees himself extremely tall and beyond the tallest human being in a dream, it means the nearing of his death, or it could mean his downfall. It is ominous for a tall person to see himself short in a dream, for it also denotes falling in rank, losing respect, or nearing one’s death. Even seeing oneself shorter in a dream means death. If one sees his figure taller in a dream, it means that his authority will expand and he will win victory over his enemies. Tallness of one’s figure in a dream also denotes longevity. If a short person sees himself tall in a dream, it denotes self-deception and boastfulness, or it could represent his stinginess.
