Universal Landscape: Higher perspectives of consciousness.
Dreaming Lens: How high were you? What structure was affording you the height? Was there a view? Were you frightened or secure? Was there danger of falling?
Personal Focus: The higher your vantage point, the more expansive view of your environment you will have. This takes on the symbolic meaning of expanded consciousness. The higher your level of thought, the more enlightened you are considered to be. This is so because there is a correlation between expanded consciousness and making positive, life-affirming choices.
In simpler terms, the more you see, the more you know. The more you know, the more informed you can be about your choices. This expansion, however, comes with a caveat. Choosing to live at higher levels of consciousness brings with it a great deal of responsibility. The higher you go, the farther you can fall should you lose your footing. The greatest issue here is whether your fear of falling from a great height is real or imagined. Even the most precarious precipice is safe, as long as you practice stillness. However, stillness is perhaps the greatest challenge in the human experience.
The key to understanding this symbol is relativity. The roof of a small building will afford you a view of everything that is near it. Conversely, being up in space can afford a view of our entire world. The greater the height, the higher the level of consciousness being expressed. Your emotional experience of that height in your dream must color the interpretation you assign it.
