A Dream of Sweating While Climbing a Mountain - dream meaning with inherited lore

You climb a steep mountain path or stairs, sweat running down your forehead and back. Your legs feel heavy, but the dream may end when you reach the summit or a high place.

Korean lore: Traditionally, sweat shed while climbing a mountain has sometimes been interpreted as the effort invested in achieving something important. Reaching the summit is also sometimes seen as progress in something you have prepared for a long time. (This draws on a folk dream tradition that reads mountains and effort as a process of achievement, and sweat as a trace of hard work.)

Through the mind: You may have this dream while holding on to a long-term goal, such as preparing for a job, changing careers, or securing a home. It may contain both the feeling that things are hard and the feeling that you are still moving forward.
