Tower
A tower often carries the feeling of aspiration — the longing to rise above current circumstances, to see farther, to claim a vantage point that feels unavailable in waking life. Whether the structure stands firm or crumbles may matter less than the courage it took to climb at all.
A live archive of what the world is dreaming tonight: which symbols are rising, the collective mood, and where the dreams are coming from. Free, always.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for tower, 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 seeing a tower, denotes that you will aspire to high elevations. If you climb one, you will succeed in your wishes, but if the tower crumbles as you descend, you will be disappointed in your hopes.

Fontaine, 1862
To dream of going upon a high tower, and looking off on a beautiful landscape, foretells that you will acquire land either by purchase or inheritance: if you look off upon the water, it is a sign of a journey by sea, during which you will acquire riches: if birds are flying around the tower, they foretell so many troubles.
