To dream that you are descending could represent your search for meaning in your unconscious. You may have a desire to explore your own psyche and to get better acquainted with who you are. Alternatively, dreaming of descending may represent a descent into lower frequencies of vibration – as in a descent into darkness. You may be experiencing more negative feelings in your life and less positive feelings. You may be entering a “dark” period of your life and this symbol could also indicate feelings of depression. Further, dreaming of descending could indicate a regression to some former stage of your life or development. You may be looking at situations or problems from a younger point of view or the way you did as a child.
