Dreams are mysterious, fun, interesting and sometimes even scary. Where do they come from? Why are our dreams so strange and weird? What, for heaven's sake do they mean? Read YOUR INNER WORLD for insight into the meaning of dreams.

Dreaming of staircases indicates that you are slowly and by your own efforts moving up or down into the mental realm or subconscious realm respectively. This may be a slow and cautious process that you are undertaking to understand yourself better.

Dear Jean,
I have a dream that I was climbing up a long staircase. What does this mean?

Dear Dreamer,
Climbing a staircase indicates a process and progression. Often, this reflects a situation in which you are learning and gaining a better and higher understanding. Perhaps you are taking a class that is positively impacting your thinking? Climbing stairs can also indicate a person in your life that is affecting you in a mentally stimulating way. Learning is a lifelong process.

Dear Jean,
I have the same dream over and over. There are long and unending staircases. I am also crossing streets and there is also a big boat that I can see in the ocean. What is the meaning of this?
Elaine

Dear Elaine,
Staircases that have no end indicate the learning process in life and that our development on earth is neither static nor finite. Crossing streets indicates the paths you are taking and the decisions you make. The boat and ocean reinforce this message on an emotional level. Perhaps you have this dream when you are encountering change in your life? Wishing you smooth transitions,
Jean Wiley-

Send me your dream and you may see it interpreted in a future column!
