Did you dream about ladders? Ladders in dreams typically relate to social status, achievements, and understanding yourself. In a sense, a ladder dream is similar to that of an elevator. However, ladder dreams typically relate to more of your own doings and work to achieve your goals. Ladders can also suggest a state of mind in meditation and prayer; staying on top of the ladder suggests a spiritual path and higher awareness. Each rung of the ladder is symbolic of a stage in your spiritual awareness. Find all the interpretations for ladder dreams now.

Dream About Interactions with the Ladder
To dream that you are climbing up a ladder suggests that you have reached a new achievement level. It is symbolic of prosperity, hard work, and your efforts. Consider the “social ladder” to be the key here.
To dream about climbing down a ladder, it suggests that you are stepping down from a job post that you have had.
Holding the ladder for a friend in the dream suggests that you help those around you. The opposite is true; when someone else is stabling the ladder for you, you receive help from outside sources.
Falling down a ladder and hitting the floor in the dream suggests that you are facing difficulty or setbacks. It could be a simple “misstep” if it is your own doing, or someone else might be sabotaging your efforts.
Standing right at the upper rung of the ladder can suggest shaky standing. You might be at the top of the world. But look for support soon because the fall is just as nasty.
Dream About Conditions of the Ladder
Broken Ladder
To see a broken ladder in your dream indicates consistent failures in your undertakings. You may feel stuck in the pursuit of your goals and cannot climb out of your position.
Rope Ladder
The rope ladder in the dream suggests shaky or non-stable climbs that you are undertaking. The dream suggests that you need to be careful with every step you take.
High Ladder
Dreaming about a really tall or high ladder reflects the difficulty of succeeding. It would help if you had both the physical power and mental mind to accomplish greatness. If you fear the height while being on a tall ladder, you will need to conquer your fear to succeed.
Short Ladder
Dreams regarding short ladders refer to your short term and smaller goals.
Slippery Ladder or Ladder with small steps
When you dream about these dangerous items that can help you climb higher and succeed, it suggests that the risk is huge if you want to undertake your project now. Perhaps you should consider stepping back, rethink your process, aka getting another ladder before doing what you need to do. Consider your emotions too. If you brush the possibility of easy fall aside, it may reflect your risk-taking nature in waking life.
Dream About Going Under the Ladder
Dream About Going Under the Ladder
It suggests bad luck in the dreams since it is a common belief of bad luck. Your minds undoubtedly replicate that association. The dream may also highlight how you are looking at things from a different perspective.

Hello
Last night I had a dream about a ladder in the sky.
And I was saying in my dream that these kids of 2022 are blessed since they will be talking to God directly by just moving on the ladder.
But I was very scared to even look at it clearly
I was sooo scared. I couldn’t look up. The sky was so bright and beautiful. But I was shivering. What does it mean please 🥺
That’s crazy! I had the same dream.. ladders in the sky..but there’s ladders going sideways, vertical, horizontal, it’s like a playground in the sky. There were kids up there playing. I was too scared cause it was so high up so little by little, step by step, I was trying to climb down.
thanks this did help me understand my dream
Last night in my dream I had to climb a very tall ladder and whats percussive about this ladder is that from a certain height distance,it becomes narrow and then goes higher again for a long height distance that connects to a last layer of a newly constructed building where i have to be living. Much as it was difficult for me to climb, other people in the dream climbed with ease and less fear while I was in great fear.
Idream were the first person,climbed and reached the top but tearing the part that hold the ladder so the ladder nearly shattered. Then when it reached my turn to climb my own ladder i climbed well even thou it thought, but I reached the top people suddenly start clapping for me.
I.forgot to.say the ladder was made of metal and it has very small steps but it was really high

I had a dream of a house which was also a gift shop. You had to climb a very steep wooden ladder to get into the entrance. 2 story’s high. Top of the ladder stopped at the floor level. No rails to hang onto. When leaving I was scared about how to swing myself around and get back onto the ladder to leave, plus hold onto my 2 shopping bags. My partner was ok making it down. Also the shop keepers child ate parts of both my shoes. Double dream!

Woah. Had a same dream. Just my ladder was white in colour – wooden
I keep having the same dream, in it there is a ladder and the gaps between the steps are massive. The ladder doesn’t seem to be that hard for me to climb but when I get to the top I cant get off, I ask people for help but they just walk past. I sit at the top of the ladder not knowing if I should fall, most likely killing me or sit there and keep trying to get myself up.
I’ve had these similar dreams multiple times, it’s where i’m on a very tall ladder that begins to fall to one side. I’m on the top still hanging on while the ladders falling down. But I always tend to get this ugly feeling, it’s a similar feeling when i’m riding a rollercoaster that goes up on a high level then falls straight down fast. Before I hit the ground with the ladder, I wake up freaked out almost wanting to cry of how scary it was. I was told a ladder has multiple meanings. Where it could mean ” A way to heaven” or how my life can represent either if i’m heading to the right direction or not. I’m not clear of what the true meaning could be but I just thought it be nice to share my part of the story.
Was the ladder metal ? We’re you in a school or warehouse or jail? I had this dream and feeling last night.

I dreamed the ladder was in the clouds but I don’t know who it was
I dream I was at the top of a bamboo ladder and I switched over to another ladder from the top and started stepping down it until I reached to ground again. I believe I was outside and the building was a church.
I dreamt and saw two ladies helped me climb a ladder and got to the top of the wall

Unsure of who this person is I continued to walk the bridge falls an turns into rope monkey bars. I woke up also remembering a tipping boat…felt like I was in the boat and it started tipping and that’s how I woke up. Please help with a Meaning??????

I had a dream of going to the mall with my mother and younger sister
when suddenly a car drove me away from them i mange to stop the car but at quite a distance away
When the car had stopped i got out and proceeded to walk in the direction taking every shortcut i could when i came to the last shortcut it was through a large building and through a window to climb a ladder on another tall black building when climbing down i gained mkral support from certain aquaintnces saying “you can do it “, “its not that hard” then i remember not being able to climb down by somehow not being able to reach the rungs below me and each rung had grips for my fingers at the same time trying to type something on my phone i became weak and also unable to reach the lower rungs then i fell.
Can anyone tell me what this means i would be very grateful
What is walking away from the latter suggesting? I saw it and just walked away from it.

Dreamed of my deceased husband that passed away 10 months ago climbing a tall ladder, looks at me, then falls.
Had a dream about climbing a steep and long ladder into some building opened window to get someone there or something, while climbing and at the top, the ladder started falling back from gravity (very steep and high, like 30+ meters and a very bad angle), I managed to bring it back because it was near a perpendicular wall “L” corner. But as soon as I got my both hands on the window base, the ladder separated in halves, and I was hanging with all my strength my chin and my both arms on the border of the window. I think the person I was trying to get helped me get in, that’s where I changed dream/woke up.
