Dreaming of mountain
Read two ways. Let them disagree, the truth often sits between.
Artemidorus · Oneirocritica
Drawn up, it speaks of To climb a mountain and reach the top denotes mastery of a difficult work, often public.
Drawn down, it warns of To slip on the slope is the warning to consolidate before climbing further.
Jungian · the collective unconscious
Drawn up, it speaks of The mountain is the Self, the goal of the individuation process. Climbing well means progress in becoming whole.
Drawn down, it warns of The mountain you cannot reach signals the integration that you keep deferring.
When it appears with another
Mountain in company
mountain + horse
The vital body ascending. A real climb undertaken with energy. The instinctual self approves of the goal.
