Animals

Ibex

A mountain goat at home on impossible ground — competence in conditions that defeat other lives.

An ibex in a dream is the dream's image of being suited to a terrain other people find unlivable. Ibex stand on near-vertical rock and graze where no predator can follow; the dream brings the animal when you are doing the same in your own life — flourishing in conditions that observers would describe as too hard. An ibex high on a cliff is the dream affirming that the chosen ground is yours and the apparent difficulty is the reason you are safe there. An ibex losing its footing is the dream noting that even your terrain has limits, and a step has been taken without care.
