If you dream that you are standing on a ledge, you are feeling tense, anxious or excited about something. Consider what direction you are looking in as you stand there.
The direction to which you are looking relates to your viewpoint, whether it be an optimistic one (looking up), a pessimistic one (looking down) or realistic one (looking straight ahead). On a more positive note, this dream may signify a sense of freedom and liberation.
To dream that someone else is standing on a ledge means a friend needs your help.
[1]A narrow shelf-like structure found high above the ground on buildings and in nature, a ledge has the almost contradictory nature of being traversable, but not without some danger of falling.
It is this precariousness that holds its symbolic meaning. To be “on the ledge” is synonymous with being highly stressed and in danger of becoming more so.
A ledge in your dreams is pointing to this state in some arena of your life. Where are you at the very edge of your ability to hold things together?
