Many people believe dreams reflect our unconscious emotions, desires and wishes. Among the many symbols that can appear in our dreams, ladders are particularly significant, representing luck, challenges and progress towards our goals. Let’s take a closer look at what ladders can mean when they appear in dreams…
Luck
In many cultures, dreaming about a ladder is considered a sign of good luck and a good omen from your spiritual guide. However, dreaming about sliding or falling down a ladder is often seen as a sign of bad luck or ill fortune to come.
Goals
A ladder can also represent a goal you want to achieve that may be out of reach. Climbing the ladder is meant to symbolise efforts and hardships as you work towards your goals, whereas descending a ladder represents fear or uncertainty about your future.
Dreaming of a small ladder or step ladder is believed to mean you need to focus on smaller goals, with however many steps you can see or climb being the number of steps you need to take to move forward.
Self-Development
In dreams, ladders can also represent your pursuit of self-development and self-improvement. In these cases, ladders are a sign to focus on your own obstacles and life transitions.
Thankfully, ladders generally represent the end of difficulties and the start of new beginnings, so if you’re going through something challenging and dreaming about ladders, it is likely you’re coming to the end of that difficult journey.
Social Position
Ladders can also represent how you feel about your place in life or your social position. If you are climbing a ladder in your dream, this is generally a good sign that you are moving towards where you want to be in life.
If you are falling off a ladder in your dream, however, this can symbolize upcoming trouble, failure or loss of social position and wealth.

Of course, there could be a simpler explanation: maybe your unconscious mind is just telling you that you need to buy a new ladder!
