Hills
Climbing hills often touches effortful ascent — good if you reach the top, but a struggle against envy and resistance if you slip back. The dream may ask what rising challenge you're laboring up, whether you'll crest it or slide, and what contrariness, your own or others', stands between you and the summit you're toiling toward.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for hills, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of climbing hills is good if the top is reached, but if you fall back, you will have much envy and contrariness to fight against.

Fontaine, 1862
To dream of going up a hill is a sign you will rise in the world, and of going down hill the reverse; if, in your dream, you seem to be approaching a smooth high hill, it shows that you will shortly have a piece of good fortune; but if the hill be rugged and stony, it foretells difficulties in connection with the good fortune.
