Resign

Resigning a position often touches unfortunately embarking on new enterprises, with unpleasant tidings in others resigning, though some read it by contraries toward advancement. The dream may ask where you're letting go of a role, and whether stepping down leads into risky new ground or, oddly, the very thing that lifts you higher.
