Ambition
A held intention to reach a higher level — a forward orientation that directs the use of one's energy.
Ambition in a dream is the dream's image of a held intention to reach a higher level than the current one. Ambition is not greed; ambition is the directional use of the self toward an aspiration that has been formed and committed to. The dream brings ambition when something in your life — a career phase, a project's scope, a long self-development — is currently running on a clear forward intention. Ambition aimed at a target the self actually wants is the dream affirming the honest drive. Ambition borrowed from someone else's idea of the right target is the dream noting that the energy is being spent toward a destination the user did not choose, and arrival there will not satisfy.
