Dream of Stairs That Go Up and Down - dream meaning with inherited lore
Stairs that leave you unsure where to go may be connected to a time when you have many choices or have not yet sorted out which direction you want to take.
After climbing one staircase, you find another leading down, and the path you were descending suddenly turns upward. You may feel as though you keep passing the same place or cannot find where you started.
Korean lore: Traditionally, changes in whether one is going up or down stairs have sometimes been interpreted as a shift in the course of one's work or a wavering heart. A scene where you cannot choose a direction may also be seen as a sign to look more closely at your decision. (In folk dream interpretations, the directions of rising and falling are sometimes read as reflections of the current course of one's work and the state of one's choices.)
Through the mind: A dilemma about which path to choose—career, relationships, or moving—may have found its way into the dream. Rather than pushing yourself for not deciding, it may be a scene inviting you to look at what feels most burdensome.
