Advancement – Physical advancement in a dream, such as traveling on a journey or taking steps forward, indicates working toward a goal. The way you feel about your ability to meet your goals is related to the sort of advancement you accomplish in your dream – if you cannot move your feet, or if you are bombarded by obstacles, then you feel either incompetent or frustrated about reaching your goals. Non-physical advancement (status, job promotion, etc.) also symbolizes meeting your goals, but it includes the element of recognition from other people. Remember, however, that the things you receive or want from others in your dreams are often the things you need from yourself. If you find yourself desiring recognition and promotion in your dreams, try recognizing and appreciating the excellence of your own work first.
