Ladder
A set of rungs for climbing — a way to reach a higher place that depends on every step.
A ladder in a dream is the dream's image of a way to reach a higher place that depends on every step. The ladder is incremental; you do not skip rungs. The dream brings the ladder when something in your life — a career, a learning, a piece of construction — is currently being approached one rung at a time. A ladder set firmly against the wall and climbed steadily is the dream affirming the method. A ladder set on uneven ground, with the climb attempted anyway, is the dream noting that the base was not made stable, and the climb will not finish the way it is starting.
