Animals

Mountain goat

A goat on a near-vertical ledge — sure-footed competence in country others would not even attempt.

A mountain goat in a dream is the dream's image of sure-footed competence in country others would not attempt. The goat takes routes that look impossible and stays calm on the narrowest ledges. The dream brings the goat when a part of you — or a figure in your life — is currently moving through high, narrow ground (financial, emotional, professional) without fuss. A goat reaching grass on a ledge nobody could see is the dream affirming that the route exists for the right feet. A goat losing footing on the same ledge it crossed yesterday is the dream noting that competence does not promise the ground will hold twice.
