Valley dream meaning is explained below using
32 different sources.
Each interpretation is shown with its source.
Interpretation 1 — Pamela Ball
1- Dreaming of going down into a valley can have the same significance as going downstairs that is, going down into the subconscious or unknown parts of ourselves.
The result of this can be either depression and gloominess or finding new areas of productiveness within us.
2- Being in a valley can represent the sheltering, feminine side of our nature and also being down to earth. Leaving a valley suggests coming out of a period of introversion in order to function properly in the everyday world.
3- Fears of death and dying are often translated in dreams as entering into a valley - the valley of death.
It is worth remembering that entry into the valley of death is often said to be a conscious act, and the dreamer should recognise that it is his own subconscious fear at work.

Interpretation 2 — Martha Clarke
Due to its fertile character, opposite to the desert and to the tall mountain, the valley is the symbol of life, the mystical place of shepherds and monks. It represents the homey character of Mother Earth. As it is situated between mountains, it defines your direction and limitations. Traveling to a valley usually symbolizes the step from one circumstance to another.
It is possible that you will encounter difficulties during this transition, but in the end you will find beneficial spiritual changes. In terms of dreams, the valley also represents the place where our soul recovers its energy. Therefore, it announces a period of tranquility and happiness.
As a spiritual-dream symbol, the valley represents the wisdom and importance of modesty.

Interpretation 3 — Dr. Mıchael Lennox
Anything that is part of the land is symbolically connected to your conscious mind.
A valley can be thought of as a beautiful expanse of land nestled within the higher elevation that surrounds it. Often idyllic in nature, a valley represents the part of your awareness that is protected by the higher levels of thought that surround it. You cannot have the sense of a valley without having the sense of the mountains or hills that create it, so the valley becomes the representation of what can be appreciated when higher levels of thought have been acknowledged.
A valley also connects to the protection and shelter created by such higher aspirations.

Interpretation 5 — Theresa Cheung
In dreams, a valley is a symbol of fertility and abundance as it brings together the elements of earth and water. Another interpretation suggests that a valley represents the journey of self-discovery.
If the valley in your dream is a rugged and steep ravine or gorge with a river running along the bottom and trees lining its slopes, this can be a metaphor for sexuality and the adventure, dangers and excitement this promises. A steep canyon in your dream may represent maternal domination.
If you dream of a cliff, this may be referring to a newfound awareness, as well as a new attitude.

Interpretation 6 — Klaus Vollmar
Low point, crisis, and turning point. Going down into the valley means either getting to the bottom of something, or descending into the unconscious. Pay attention to the kind of valley
(its shape and what is growing there).
If the valley is already in the shadows, it symbolizes dark areas.
A valley that is shaped like a canyon symbolizes either female sexuality or sexual anxieties.
