Ascending dream meaning is explained below using 3 different sources. Each interpretation is shown with its source.

Interpretation 1 — Tony Crisp

The rising feelings of passion or sexual pleasure, the transition from expressing our energy genitally to express­ing it in self awareness is often shown as ascending.

See fly­ing, stairs and lift under house and buildings. Movement to­wards waking or becoming more aware, the mental, or an escape from anxiety or being ‘down to earth’; sexual pleasure.

If the lift goes out of the top of the roof, or the connection with base is missing: can show a critical situation of the mind being split from body awareness (schizoid). Ascending a hill or mountain or tree: often shows having a more inclusive view or understanding of one’s activities and place in the scheme of things.

Interpretation 3 — Ibn Seerin

Seeing oneself ascending ordinarily (as in real life) means one will attain honour, dignity and an elevated postion. Such ascension is indeed, an enviable one. In general, ascension or climbing represents one’s honour and dignity in worldly and religious matters. At other times, climbing a mountain or tree suggests that the beholder will be granted protection against calamities of all sorts.
