Using psychology we find that real "climbing" dreams in our database link to the following real feelings. Each quote represents the thought or feeling that triggered this dream. Full dream analyses appear in links at the bottom of this page.

- "I know now that I am STUCK with arthritis for life". (life seems like you have to climb everywhere. Its a symbol for life being a uphill task.)

- "I am worried about my sister. She is going through a REALLY HARD TIME." (dreams of climbing are metaphors usually as most people don't climb in real life. They are symbols for relationships which seem as if they are always on the uphill route.)

- "I am SUFFERING FROM CHRONIC PAIN" ("Climbing dreams" link to any difficulty in our life and it maybe the dreamer way of saying that they are "in pain")

- "I woke up to find I was suffering from PAIN in the same place as in the dream".

- "I keep being annoyed by my boyfriends irritating habits. It is HARD GOING." (Dreams use symbols to express emotions which are associated with them - we associate "climbing" with "hard times" and "difficult tasks")

- "I am infatuated with this man. My mind is full of imaginations. Its not based on reality". (Such a feeling in real life suggests that the dreamer realises that they are on a difficult route emotionally.)

- "I am becoming ISOLATED AND DEPRESSED. Life is very DIFFICULT." (If life seems like a climb it maybe hints a some personality disorder such as depression.)

- "My friend is completely AVOIDING me. I don't know what is happening to our relationship". (A "climbing dream" could be a metaphor for any relationship problems)

- "I am awaiting my punishment. I am EXHAUSTED AND DRAINED."

- "I am trying to IMPROVE MY HEALTH but its NOT EASY" (Does a real illness make life seem as if it's always on an uphill route)

- "I am trying to get this WORK PROJECT but I am having DIFFICULTIES." (If you are having a hard time at work the dream could be a symbol for work fatigue)

- "I don't think I can TAKE ANYMORE in this relationship"

- "My friend is often DIFFICULT TO TALK TO." ("climbing dreams" being a symbol for any difficult which is dominating our mind)

"Climbing" in dreams: Understanding dreams is not so difficult. In practice dream symbols translate into certain words within the English language. For instance a dream with "climbing" in it may simply translate into a phrase like "Exhausted" and the dream capture an everyday thought such as "I am feeling totally exhausted. I am becoming chronically ill and I cannot see a good future ahead for me.". Dreams will link to thoughts which can be translated into quotes like this. Once you can think of a quote like this you start to really touch on the heart of a dreams meaning. In this case the dreamer merely replicates the feeling in real life. The story line of the dreamer may seem too different but dreams just home in on key feelings. In reality he felt like life was one constant climb.

Keywords linked to "climbing" in dreams
In practice "climbing" in dreams has several symbolic meanings. Here is the list at present. Try to write down quotes which capture your key feelings right now but which also feature the words listed below.
- "Combative personality" Are you a very physical person with lots of energy? Were you very active yesterday? Do you wake up with lots of energy ready to jump out of bed and take on the world?Were you feeling restless before you fell asleep?
- "Exhausted" Have you been ill recently and you are still finding it difficult to summon up the energy needed?
- "Finding something difficult" Are you finding things difficult at work? Have you been trying to do something which is proving far too difficult? Are you finding it difficult to get along with someone and you have been wondering if you should cut them out of your life?
- "Wanting to sort out a problem" Have you been trying to address a problem? If so then your dream could be about your assessment about how well you are doing.
- "Effort" Have you been trying to put a lot of energy and effort into something? Are you trying hard to avoid something? Have you dedicated your life to something but it's been all in vain? Have you been pursuing something with little success? Has someone been putting a lot of effort into doing something you do not want to happen? Have you been having a hard time of it right now?
- "Very emotional" Have you been having a lot of emotional up's and down's recently? Has a relationship been highly emotional? Did you have an major argument yesterday? Are you feeling emotionally drained? Have you been trying to help someone who is emotionally unsettled at the moment?
- "Battling" Have you been battling against the odds? Have you had a lot to put up with recently? Have you been trying to achieve the impossible?

Dreams are in the here and now which means that any analysis is made much more easier. Many people make the mistake of trying to link a dream to something in the long and distant past. So any analysis inevitably links a dream to something vague and deep in the past and too general to have any real meaning. In this case a dream where there is "climbing" can simply translate into a word like "battling". Always try to translate a dreams meaning into a quote about something very specific in the here and now. For instance, in the case of the example just given the meaning could link to a thought like "I am determined to have a relationship with him. I am battling against the world but I just love him". In this case the dream is about the dreamer battling against the odds.

What immediately comes to mind will usually give you the answer to your dreams meaning. Dreams are in the here and now because they are part of the process whereby we transfer thoughts and emotions from short term into long term memory. Simply look for associations with the symbols in your dream and think of what comes into your mind. When you make a connection look for other associations which will help you understand how your mind stores intuitive thoughts.
