Seeing Mountains
Mountain dreams symbolise great goals, challenges to be overcome, and spiritual ascent. The mountain peak represents the highest potential one wishes to reach.
✦Spiritual Interpretation
The mountain is the seat of the gods and the meeting point of earth and sky in cultures around the world: Olympus, Sinai, Fuji, the Himalayas. In spiritual traditions climbing a mountain is the symbol of a journey of spiritual purification and attaining divine knowledge.
♑Astrological Interpretation
Mountain dreams carry a strong connection with Saturn, Capricorn, and Jupiter. Saturn symbolises discipline and long-term goals, while Jupiter symbolises growth and reaching the summit.
◈Psychological Interpretation
For Jung the mountain is a symbol of the Self archetype and the aim of integration. Climbing the mountain reflects the difficult but meaningful individuation process; failing to reach the summit reflects doubts about the goal.
◯Freudian Interpretation
Freud interprets the mountain as a phallic symbol and associates the desire to ascend with ambition for power, status, and social success. Fear of climbing reflects anxiety about failure.
