Dreaming of climbing endless stairs - dream meaning with inherited lore

You keep climbing, but the floors never end and similar stairs repeat. Your legs may feel heavy or you may be short of breath, yet stopping feels difficult.

Korean lore: Traditionally, endlessly climbing stairs has sometimes been interpreted as a long process toward a goal or an unresolved task. It may also be seen as a dream of looking back over something that is taking a long time. (This interpretation comes from a folk tradition that reads going up and down stairs as progress in work and changes in life stages.)

Through the mind: This scene may appear when something you must solve step by step—such as preparing for a job, changing jobs, taking an exam, or dealing with housing—feels like it is dragging on. It may also reflect a tired mind worn down by trying to keep up with others’ expectations rather than your actual pace.
