It is generally accepted that going down somewhere in a dream is not a very good sign, promising falls and failures. This statement is partly true. But only partly! Dream books have many interpretations in which this symbol prophesies joy and harmony. It’s not difficult to understand why you dream of descending; the main thing is to remember where you descended, why and with what help.
Briefly about the main thing...
Remembering a dream in its entirety is a great success, which is not given to everyone. But it doesn't matter! Don’t remember the whole dream, but only fragments? Dream books will explain to you why and why you are dreaming, even based on small pieces of information. Here, for example, are some meanings of dreams where you descended:
- From a cliff quickly - to failure; from the cliff slowly - to the measured flow of affairs.
- On a rope ladder - by thinking through every step, you will be able not to make a mistake.
- To the cellar - you are looking for new entertainment.
- Going down a steep slope means danger.
- On the lift - to the systematic course of events.
- Skiing on a mountain slope means fun.
- To earth from the sky - to parting with illusions.
Chase
Some people have calm and measured dreams, while others have dynamic dreams. Psychologists say that if a person is active in his dreams and daydreams, it means that in his reality there are not enough events and physical activity. But still, sometimes dreams are a complete projection of the present. For example, you may imagine a scenario in which you are running away from a maniac down the stairs. Such action is not uncommon for a person who has actually faced serious life changes. His emotions are off the charts, so he finds emotional release in dynamic, albeit not entirely pleasant, dreams. Don't worry about the scary figure that might be chasing you. Changes, even positive ones, cause fear in a person. Such chases are often dreamed of by schoolchildren who, after finishing 9th or 11th grade, choose their own path in life.
Miller's Dream Book
On the pages of Miller’s dream book one can find such an interpretation of a dream in which the dreamer went down somewhere: in real life a difficult situation has arisen that he cannot cope with on his own. Therefore, he is trying to find a “fulcrum”, which can become either a friend or a casual acquaintance.
But a dream about descending into a dungeon or a cave is nothing more than an attempt to seek advice from one’s own subconscious, since the sleeper has already found himself in a similar situation.
Freud's interpretation
Running down the stairs in a dream at night, according to Freud’s interpretation, predicts a calm intimate relationship. Running down the steps with someone, for example, a boyfriend or an adult man, indicates that the dreamer has too high demands on his chosen one. Stumbling and falling from it - the current love relationship will not lead to anything good.
If you dreamed of running up the stairs from someone else’s room, then in real life the dreamer will feel shame in front of the people around him. For a woman to see such a picture means she does not want to have children. If a guy dreamed that he was afraid of going down, then this foreshadows the emergence of problems in his intimate life.
For a lady to go down the stairs with her gentleman - to a new round in sexual relations with her lover.
Having seen a dream in which a ladder appears, it is worth looking into dream books and finding out its meaning. If the interpretation turns out to be negative, then you should not panic and worry about it. It may be possible to prevent unpleasant consequences and avoid them completely.
Joyful descent as a symbol of happiness
Seeing yourself descending from a height with a rollicking laugh is a sign of a joyful event that you are really looking forward to. For singles and single people, it’s fun to come down from a height - to a change in personal status. And if an elderly person descends from a height with ease, it means longevity and good spirits.
Did you have a dream that you were jumping down the steps from the roof of a high-rise building? Adventure awaits you. And if you prefer going down the stairs to going down the railings, you are prone to adventures, suggests the Modern Dream Book.
Go down from where and where: success at work will be changeable
Do you dream that you are walking off a cliff along the sand to the river? Be extremely focused on your work, as your competitors are waiting for you to fail. And if you slipped while walking on stones, then be prepared for the fact that they will “set you up,” Tsvetkov’s dream book upsets.
Did you have a dream that, having run down a path from a steep bank to the sea, you dived into it right in your clothes? You will be entrusted with work that will absorb you “with your head.” And if you were descending from a high hill to the ground via a waterfall, what seemed boring, in fact, will turn out to be a very interesting and promising activity.
Descent into Infinity
Man rarely realizes his degradation. Once you start going down the social ladder, it is difficult to stop. The way down is too easy and fast. You may not notice that you are deteriorating. But the subconscious will definitely notice this. It is at that moment when you dream of descending into infinity that you should think about where you are now and where you are heading. Reconsider your views on the world, take a closer look at your habits. If you are really ruining yourself, then change the situation. Quit bad habits and start improving yourself. If you hear from others that you are changing for the better, then continue in the same spirit to go in the chosen direction. A person should always know where he is going.
Planned and unplanned descent - to unexpected turns of fate
Miss Hasse's dream book explains a dream in which you took an elevator underground, knowing where you would arrive, as a sign that you desire change. And if you dreamed that the elevator ride was suddenly interrupted because you were in the dark and couldn’t see the road, then get ready for an unexpected unhappy event.
Descending into a mine along a sheer wall, holding on to the steps made of reinforcement driven into it in order to lift the mined treasures, is a sign of luck that can change your life, according to the Eastern Dream Book. And if you fell into a hole while going down a stepladder, then beware of unplanned matters, they can “confuse the cards” for you.
Appearance of the staircase
When trying to interpret a dream, you must definitely pay attention to the appearance of the staircase and the material from which it was made.
Depending on these details, the interpretation of the vision changes somewhat:
- Descending a wooden staircase means good news and events. If you hear the creaking of the steps, then you should expect news from your place of work. Silent movement promises important notification from close relatives.
- Walking along a stone staircase in a dream indicates that a person is striving to start a new life.
- Going down shaky steps means business negotiations.
- If the structure is broken or collapses suddenly before the dreamer’s eyes, then one should prepare for a colossal collapse in real life, after which it will take quite a long time to recover. It is recommended to have courage and not lose heart.
- Seeing an endless staircase in a dream means unforeseen family circumstances.
- A spiral staircase in a dream symbolizes the path along which the sleeper will have to move to the goal. It will not be easy; you will need to put in a lot of effort to achieve what you want. If something doesn’t work out, then you shouldn’t despair, but develop a different plan of action to make your dreams come true.
- Crystal steps dream of a romantic meeting.
- Steps without railings represent a person’s uncertainty about the future.
- Descending a rope ladder suggests that the sleeper will strive to do good to people, but in return he will receive only anger, envy and condemnation.
- I had to walk along narrow steps - a difficult situation arose. The problem can be solved in an unexpected way.
- Going down the icy stairs means a modest and calm feast.
What you went down on will tell you what will help you in life
Do you have a dream in which you see yourself descending from a tree using a rope? Remember, sometimes little things are enough to make you happy. But if you were descending from a tree on a slippery rope, understatement can cause a quarrel, the Gypsy Dream Book interprets the dream.
Do you want to know why you dream about rappelling from a balcony or from a window? Ingenuity will greatly help you out in difficult times. And going down from a bridge into a tunnel with a rope tied around you is a sign that endurance and strength will help you cope with the task.
Did you happen to go down the subway on an escalator in a dream? Technical progress is your assistant. Don't neglect new knowledge.
General interpretation
The staircase in a dream is attributed to the image of a kind of thread connecting the top and bottom. Climbing the stairs is associated with events that allow you to go beyond the boundaries of your universe. This is the path to perfection, spiritual and physical growth, to the formation of a full-fledged self-sufficient personality.
In many myths, a ladder is a connection between the vertical levels of the universe; along it you can climb from earth to heaven or get to the underworld. In one of the legends, angels moved along the steps, if up - their function was contemplative, down - active.

For the dreamer, going down the stairs means not being a dreamy person, but being content with what is here and now. It is important for such individuals to live in the present day and solve pressing problems in a timely manner. They do not dream of a dizzying career or untold riches. These are practical, modest and very reserved people.
If a successful businessman had a dream about such a plot, get ready for difficulties. This reflects a decline in your career, poor health, low energy and general impotence. Falling down the stairs means suffering a complete collapse, plunging into despair and depression.
For a creative person to go down several steps in a dream means to pay with his dizzying success due to excessive stardom and vanity. Lack of demand will pacify tempers, give you the opportunity to think and discover new facets of talent.
For a young girl in a white dress to stop on the stairs, holding on to the railing, is to be disappointed in her loved one on the eve of an important event. Now more than ever you need the support and attention of close relatives. Such a dream could be a sign of warning. Sometimes, to find your happiness, you need to turn away from what seemed like the right path and change your strategy.
Descending into darkness in a dream means being in a state of uncertainty and confusion. Perhaps some event shocked and wounded the soul. Now you are in search and knowledge of yourself. Raise your head and go up, falling and stumbling, - try to eliminate all life obstacles on the path of your own realization. It must be remembered that many frightening obstacles are distorted images and stereotypes languishing in the head and blocking forward movement.
I dreamed of a spiral staircase with a steep descent, but this does not scare you - a good sign. You are full of energy, strength and health. A series of problems and difficulties will not stop you, since there is a specific plan for radical changes. Fortune loves such individuals and will definitely give you unexpected prospects and chances to reveal their talents.
